When actors Johnny Depp and Amber Heard married in California, they entered into a marriage contract in a community property state. Now that they have announced their divorce after being married only 15 months, celebrity watchers have speculated that Depp's recent art sale could be motivated by the separation. Although neither party has made a public comment about that possibility, one divorce expert and author explained that the art would not likely be considered part of the marital property.
Determining to work together as co-parents
California parents who are divorcing will have more to worry about than just separating property. Long after their marriages have ended, they will have to deal with one another. It is up to them to decide the type of parenting relationship they will have with one another going forward.
