The CP method gives each spouse an equal one-half (1/2) share of the couple's community income and resources. Each spouse also has their own separate income and resources. Whether the spouses live together or, if not living together, the length of time they have lived apart, does not change the way income and resources are counted. A spouse's property includes income, personal property, and real property. The income and resources of a married couple acquired during the marriage are presumed to be community property of the couple. The couple can give evidence to rebut the presumption that property acquired during the marriage is community property.
