- How to define separate property: assets owned before marriage or received during marriage by gift, will, or inheritance.
- A common exam trap: income from separate property (like rent) is considered community property.
- Why the name on the title does not determine if a property is separate or community.
- The crucial rule that the burden of proof is on the spouse claiming an asset is separate property.
