Think you're going to split everything down the middle in your divorce because you're in a community property state? Not so fast. There might be trouble ahead.

In this episode of the Modern Divorce podcast, host Billie Tarascio talks with Modern Law "Godfather" Don Colburn who shares the inside scoop for what you need to know when splitting up your stuff in a community property divorce settlement. How you keep your 'stuff' will be the key. You'll want to pay particular attention to the property and assets you brought into the marriage and whether that stuff got mixed together in joint bank accounts, down payments on property and more.

And inheritances? Even if you're not divorced and not planning on it, these cautionary tales will make you think about how you should or shouldn't cash that check.
