I am married and live in California. I have inherited some money from my father and I want to know if this inheritance is community property or does it just belong to me alone?

California has community property law; but, only if he knows about the $$

Property acquired during marriage by "gift, bequest, devise, or descent" (i.e. inter vivos or testamentary gift or intestate succession) is the acquiring spouse's separate property. [Ca Const. Art. I § 21; Ca Fam § 770(a)(2)]
