Legal Question in Family Law in California
Prenup Agreement
If a prenup has been signed indicating that both parties will keep their income separate during the marriage, does the money have to be placed in separate accounts not accessible to the other person in order to be considered truly ''separate''? How would it be divided upon dissolution if it was held in a joint account with the prenup understanding that each party keeps their own salary with joint payment of expenses?

Pre Nuptial Agreements can be tricky and any procedural defect may lead to a set aside.

If the separate property wages are mixed together in a single bank account they would probably divided equally between the parties. The only way to divide the money based on contribution, would be to trace the money into and out of the account.
