How long does a couple need to be married for property to be considered community property?
You do not necessarily have to be married to own jointly owned property and even when an individual is married for 60 years he could still keep property separate from his spouse. Property is considered jointly owned if you purchased it together (each contributing), your name is on the property, or in some situations when you are married and you have substantially contributed to the property. If your spouse has kept the property separate by keeping it in his name, only putting his money into it then it will be considered separate.

It depends on the state where you married and the state where you resided.

In a common law state however, each spouse own his/her own income and property, so upon separation - what you earned is still yours.

In non -community property states how is property transferred after a marriage ends in divorce?
This will depend on the laws in the jurisdiction in which the divorce is taking place. However, in many jurisdictions such as in New Jersey, property is divided according to a concept called "equitable distribution". This means that in the divorce action the court will look at the marital property and the history of the marriage and divide the property so that it is equitable to both parties. The major factor is the roles each spouse played in the marriage in acquiring the marital property. A woman who was the housewife of the husband who brought in all the money will still be entitled equitable distribution since her contributions to the marriage as a housewife were just as important as his as the main earner.
