What happens to community property that is not divided in a divorce?
All community property should be brought up to the judge and divided at the time of the divorce. Any community property not divided at the time of the divorce is thereafter jointly owned by the parties. Within certain time constraints, either party, following the divorce, may request a judge to divide this jointly owned property. As at the time of the divorce, the judge would then divide the property in a just and right manner, taking into consideration the rights of each party and any children of the marriage.
