CA is 50:50 g ft or community property AFAIK but premarriage separate property is not divided. So if you start ou 90:10 when you get married after one year it might be 85:15 but after 50 years maybe it is 52:48 because the vast majority combined wealth is then community property s now at the moment of marriageHi! Can you give a specific state example ? For California which is a community property state it's 50-50 irrespective of the duration of the marriage so I don't get your fractional over time converging slowly to 50%.The stock community property laws (which vary by state) mean that spouses fraction of their total joint net worth converge slowly towards 50% over time, as assets grow. To me this is more than sufficient protection against a deceptive person marrying under false pretenses, hoping to walk away with 50% of the other's money a year later.
