Property after a seperation

Is property acquired after the filing of a divorce still considered community property? I am buying a business and currently seperated. Does he have a right to half of the business. It was not purchased with any money from the marriage.

Thank you for your inquiry. Generally speaking, property acquired after a divorce petition is SERVED is considered "sole and separate," so long as no community funds were used for the acquisition.

Typically, any property acquired after the date of service shall remain your sole and separate property, so long as it cannot be "traced" to marital property.

I can explain the issues involved better by phone or in person. As you can imagine, there is too much to cover via e'mail. We offer free 1/2 hour consultations, in which we can discuss the matter in more detail.

Please call me directly to discuss the specifics of your case, or contact my assistant Audrey to schedule a free 1/2 hour consultation. I look forward to talking with you.
