In community property states there are exceptions to the general rule that items are classified as community property. The following are the most common types of assets that are exceptions to the community property rule:
* Assets acquired before marriage
* Assets acquired as a personal gift
* Assets acquired through inheritance
So the stock portfolio and the income derived from it is separate property until you actively do something to make it community.
