You are probably right because I'm no expert, but I always thought anything acquired after marriage for whatever reason was automatically community property.
One good thing is that I have never heard any of the married couples in my family ever squabble over this issue.
We don't either. I inherited and it went into our account. Husband inherited twice and signed checks over to me. He told me to even things out {he has more money than me in retirement accounts} as I had spent alot of years at home with the kids. It was just never an issue. In good marriages it isn't. We are joined at the heart in all ways and money is the least of our issues. The biggest, he wants the remote and it drives me nuts. And he is always making "improvements" to my computer and that makes me crazy. And he gives advice on issues tghat he has no business doing, like fights with my sisters. I am sure he has a list too but money is not an issue. Nor secrets.
