Legal Question in Family Law in California
Income generated from inheritance
Is income generated by an inheritance seperate property, or community property? If one spouse inherits money, it is considered seperate property and the other spouse cannot get it through a divorce, as long as there was no co-mingling of funds. What about income generated from that inheritance? Is it seperate property or community property? Also, will it be considered as income during child support calculations?

In a general sense, inheritance starts out as separate property and may or may not become community property depending upin what the recipient may or may not do with it. Income from an inheritance is available to calculate child support.
For a specific opinion or more detailed information, I suggest that you consult with an experienced family law lawyer. Experience is not expensive, it's priceless!

Inheritance is separate property and money made from inheritance if community not used to increase value, is also typically separate property. Need more info.
