No, community property refers only to that property that is gained during the marriage. However, if you use community property or income earned during the marriage to continue mortgage payments, to improve, etc, then a portion of it does become community property.

If you have been married for 5 years what are the spouse entitled to when divorcing?
It depends on the laws of your state. Assuming there are no children involved - just the two of you....generally speaking, what you bring into the marriage, you get to take out of the marriage. If you owned property going in, or if you inherited money, or if you had investments...you keep them. But there may be conditions. If you owned the marriage home when you two got together, but your wife's income contributed to the care, maintenance and improvement - she would be entitled to a percentage of any increase in equity during that five years. She could also be entitled to a percentage of the growth in your investments during that period. But, she could also be responsible for debt incurred during the marriage. Find a good attorney.

Do children from a second marriage have legal rights to properties acquired by their father on the third marriage?
That depends on where your father lived with his last wife, how they held title to property, if he died testate or intestate and the laws of intestacy of the state where he died or owned property. If your father owned his property as a joint tenant with the right of survivorship with his third wife then you get nothing. If he acquired his property during his marriage in a community property state then you get nothing. You may inherit a portion if he owned property in his own name and died intestate or if he left property to you in his will. It depends on a lot of other details.
