Re: Property Division
If the property is indeed community property then you will be entitled to one half thereof. You will also be obligated for one half of community debts.

In a gneeral sense, you are entitled to one half of the community property. Whether a particular asset is community property has to be ascertained based upon your unique circumstances.
For a specific opinion regarding your individual circumstances, I suggest that you consult with an experienced family law lawyer. Experience is not expensive, it's priceless!
