In community property, what percentage interest do each spouse hold in property acquired during marriage?

In community property states, any property acquired during the marriage is considered to be jointly owned by both spouses, irrespective of which spouse earned the income or whose name is on the title. This means that each spouse holds an equal interest in that property, which translates to a 50% interest for each spouse in any property acquired during the course of their marriage. This equal division reflects the principle that any assets gained through the efforts of either spouse during the marriage are to be shared equally when it comes to ownership rights, ensuring fair treatment in the eyes of the law. This principle of equality is fundamental to community property laws and serves as a foundation for property division in divorce proceedings in these states.
