This book will focus on the rights each spouse has under certain laws, situations, and circumstances, and how the division of the property will be decided by the court or through negotiation.
"It should be noted that the increase in value during the marriage of gifts, inherited property, and premarital property which remain in party's name, will also be considered marital." ______________________________________________________________
Is this saying that if personal, inherited property increases in value during the marriage, than the increased value is community property? Let's take those antique firearms for instance. Suppose a rifle was worth $1,000.00 at the time you inherited it (before your marriage) Now, years later, it's worth $3,000.00, a $2,000.00 increase in value. Does that mean the $2,000.00 is community property? That seems nuts and makes no sense.
