That's a sticky question. While money inherited is separate property even during a marriage, separate property that is "comingled" with community property can lose its separate classification. I think you may have an excellent argument that no such reimbursement is due because the separate property was comingled with the community property.

You are likely going to need an attorney for that case, though. You should look around this site and find a divorce lawyer in your area.
