Is an inherited house soul or community property in a divorce case in california?

Question

i received an inheritence and used it to purchase our first home and other things 12 years ago,now my wife has received an inheritence that included a piece of real estate and she wants to divorce me and take half of the home we bought with my inheritence yet not give half of her inherited home.

Answer 1

Was the home you bought listed as "sole and separate property"or deeded in your name only, and bought solely with the inheritance?  If so, she doesn't have a leg to stand on.  If not, if there was any co-mingling of funds or any acknowledgment of co-ownership on your part, she can do it.
