Uniform Marital Property Act  

Definición

  • In the United States, there are two basic regimes for dividing property acquired during marriage between divorcing spouses: community property and common law. In the community property states—Alaska (which originated as a common-law state but has recently allowed married couples to opt for community property rules for marital property), Arizona, California, Idaho, Louisiana, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas, and Washington—each spouse is deemed to own a one-half undivided share of all property earned or acquired during the marriage.
