Dividing Community Assets And Debts
During the divorce process, sole and separate assets and debts (those acquired before the marriage) and community assets and debts (those acquired during the marriage) must be identified and valued. Inheritances and certain gifts acquired at anytime are considered sole and separate assets. Community assets and debts are divided in accordance with Arizona law. Though this is a simple concept, in practice it can be a highly complicated undertaking.
In certain circumstances, one party’s sole and separate assets can be transformed into community assets. In some cases, a portion of both parties’ sole and separate assets can be commingled and become part of the community estate, such as when the spouses combine their separate savings acquired before marriage to purchase a home or business during the marriage.
