Yours Mine Ours - Maybe
Posted: April 19, 2010
Community property is the house you and your spouse purchased together with money that is clearly community (wages or bonus income earned from work you did during the marriage) after you married, as well as the car you purchased together, the antique furniture, the baseball card collection, and the Google stock.
