Who gets the property in a divorce if one name is on the mortgage and both names are on the deed?

Are debts acquired after marriage by only one spouse be considered community property?
It varies from state to state, depending on if you live in a "community property" state. Lets assume that you do for the sake of this question. Debts acquired after marriage by either spouse are considered owed by both. In the event of divorce its this "community property" that often is the source of much dispute, not only the assets but the debts. Like who gets the house, who pays the credit cards ect.. Debts by one spouse may not appear on both persons credit report as I have seen personally, however if your spouse defaults on a debt its possible a collector will come after you and if they deem it necessary may get a judgment and garnish your wages if the spouse isn't working. They will go after the spouse first as that is who owes them. If you are unsure if you live in a community property state i would google " is ___ a community property state?" and see if you can get a specific answer.

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.

"Someone else" gets the property. The surviving spouse can certainly contest the will. And there may be specifics in the state that entitle the surviving spouse to a portion of the real property, or a life estate in real property. Consult an attorney licensed in the state in question.
