If my spouse files for divorce, can I keep my home, car, and personal property?

In states with community property laws, spouses are typically entitled to an “equitable” share of any communal and marital assets like real estate, cars, and other property obtained during the marriage. Property that was owned prior to the couple’s legal union may be exempt from divorce proceedings in certain cases, but if the property is considered to be a “shared asset” it may be included in the divorce settlement.
