Re: community property
New York is not a community property state, it deals in equitable distribution. There are significant differences so I suggest you use a research tool to find an article to understand them. www.lawguru.com and www.divorcenet.com/states/new_york/nyfaq04
That said, a wedding band can be considered part of the marital estate, but as a practical matter arguing over small items is not condusive to quicl settlements.
