00:04
the division of community property
00:06
is not always what people think most
00:09
people think that
00:10
50 that community property means 50 50
00:13
and that’s not what it means
00:15
it means that you each have an undivided
00:18
100 interest in every asset or debt that
00:21
is acquired
00:22
during dependency of the marriage the
00:25
manner in which the community property
00:28
is going to be divided is going to be
00:29
dependent on
00:31
the size and different factors such as
00:35
disparity in earning capacity you know
00:37
did somebody have a drug or alcohol
00:39
issue did somebody have a porn
00:41
issue did somebody you know somebody was
00:43
spending like there was no tomorrow
00:45
someone had a shopping addiction i mean
00:48
you know there it’s just a multitude of
00:50
different things that can factor in
00:52
that can give rise to things like waste
00:54
claims or
00:55
fraud claims uh you know you start
00:58
seeing money being moved around
01:00
uh with with other relatives or trying
01:03
to take it off
01:04
uh offshore and that’s where it really
01:07
can become
01:08
problematic so you’re gonna start with a
01:11
presumption
01:11
of 50 50 and then what the uh
01:15
what is going on in the case is going to
01:17
determine
01:18
really kind of what the you know what
01:21
the spread is
01:22
so to speak and what the likelihood is
01:24
is going to be in that division
