§ 751 Equal Spousal Property Interests

• •If you're married, both you and your spouse own everything you get together equally.
• •This means both of you have the same rights to things like money, houses, or cars bought during marriage.
• •It doesn’t matter who earned the money or whose name is on the paperwork—you both own it.

A husband buys a car with his paycheck during the marriage, and only his name is on the title.

Even though the husband bought the car and his name is on the title, his wife owns half of it too because they’re married.
