    They would be considered your property.
    What is your (ex) saying/doing that keeps you from getting them?

    If they were acquired during marriage in a community property state they are community property (unless received as a gift, by inheritance or if purchased with separate property).

    I thought if it was for lively hood it was not communal property.

    According to his other link his wife is basically taking everything right out from under him.

    California is a community property state so anything that was purchased during the marriage is community property unless there were a separate source. Even then some things can cross over. Many lawyers play the trick of TBD ( to be determined ) even when its known to be separate. In the case of the OP then its community until proven separate.

    No. Community property is generally defined as all property acquired during marriage, other than by gift, inheritance or by an acquisition traceable to separate property. There's no exception for "tools of the trade" or anything like that.

    What? That's an odd thing to say.

    What if it's the wife that has the business? Say she's a dentist with $100,000 worth of dental equipment all acquired during marriage? You think she should be able to keep it all and give husband nothing? Why? What's fair about that?
