What do the Paradise Valley materials actually document?

The documented divorce material for this set rests on Arizona community property: property acquired during the marriage is presumed community property, owned equally by both spouses regardless of whose name is on the deed, while separate property owned before marriage or received by gift or inheritance stays separate, subject to community interests created by appreciation and mortgage paydown with community funds, and that documented point governs selling a jointly owned house after the divorce.
