Best Answer

Marriage and divorce are governed by the laws in each jurisdiction and those laws vary. Property acquired prior to marriage does not normally become community property in a community property state. The laws in separate property states allow married people to hold property separately. However, there are extraordinary circumstances that may affect marital distribution in the case of a divorce in both systems. You should seek the advice of an attorney in your jurisdiction prior to marriage.
