No. In the United States there are ten community property states: Alaska, Arizona, California, Idaho, Louisiana, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas, Washington and Wisconsin.
Alaska is an opt-in community property state; property is separate property unless both parties agree to make it community property through a community property agreement or a community property trust.
It is also considered an equal "contribution-distribution" state when the issue pertains to marital property. Generally property obtained during the marriage belongs equally to both spouses and will be divided equally during the dissolution of a marriage, unless the action creates a substantial "hardship" to one party. There are some exceptions to the division law; property such as personal injury awards, inheritances and so forth belong solely to the spouse that was named in the action. In addition, all property acquired before the marriage or during a separation is considered to belong solely to the spouse who acquired it.

In a community property state property purchased after marriage becomes the property of both parties.Community property rules govern in community property states. Property ownership is different in separate property statesand those rules allow a spouse to acquire separately owned property in some cases.
Inherited property is not generally considered community property. However, if the property is located in another state, the property laws in that state govern. For example, California is a community property state. If the married couple from California inherited land in massachusetts, that land would not be held as community property since Massachusetts is a separate property state. If the California wife purchased property in her own right in massachusetts it would not become community property of the marriage. Massachusetts law would govern the ownership of the property.
