The court will award each spouse a percentage of the total value of the property. It is against California law for either spouse to hide assets in order to remove them from property division. Each spouse will get personal property, assets, and debts the total net worth of which will add up to his or her percentage.
In California . . .all property of a married person is classified as either community property (owned equally by both spouses) or the separate property of one spouse. At divorce, community property is generally divided equally between the spouses, while each spouse keeps his or her separate property. [Findlaw for the Public, Property and Debt Division FAQ]
