Is property acquired before marriage in a community property state considered to be community property?

In: Divorce and Marriage Law, Estates, Property Law [Edit categories]

Answer:

Property acquired prior to marriage is separate property and remains separate unless the spouse is granted on title and contributes to the mortgage payments from community funds, then they acquire an interest in that separate property in proportion to their contributions. Paying insurance taxes, utilities is not considered a basis to make the property community.
