California is a community property state. All martial assets belong to each partner equally. There are some special circumstance where that isn't true, like an inheritance, but generally, everything used during the marriage is owned equally.


Often Courts decide who gets what unless the Petitioner and Respondent can agree before the Divorce Decree.
Any gift that was given to YOU only are yours. Any gift that was given to BOTH of you are to be split.
If it's a Ferrari, then it's half and half. It's it's a $40 clock, it's yours.


That can all be settled through the divorce decree where you divide up the property.
The state of California usually considers everything acquired by the two of you during the marriage as being distributed 50/50 unless you can prove that the item was a gift meant exclusively for you.
