I may not seem like it, but I am quite grateful you busted me. It's knowledge I didn't have before as well as it's good to stop the spread of misinformation, which in this case came from me.

I do apologize for skimming and misreading. Though I can assure you in Canada property is properly shared, including anything before the marriage.

“family assets” means property, whether acquired before or after marriage, owned by one spouse or both spouses and ordinarily used or enjoyed for shelter or transportation or for household, educational, recreational, social or aesthetic purposes by both spouses or one or more of their children while the spouses were cohabiting, and includes

(a)a marital home and household goods;

(b)money in an account with a chartered bank, savings office, credit union or trust company where the account is ordinarily used for shelter or transportation or for household, educational, recreational, social or aesthetic purposes;

(c)shares in a corporation or an interest in a partnership or trust owned by a spouse having a market value equal to the value of the benefit the spouse has in respect of property owned by the corporation, partnership or trustee that would, if it were owned by the spouse, be a family asset;

(d)property over which a spouse has, either alone or in conjunction with another person, a power of appointment exercisable in favour of himself or herself, if the property would be a family asset if it were owned by the spouse; and

(e)property disposed of by a spouse but over which the spouse has, either alone or in conjunction with another person, a power to revoke the disposition or a power to consume or dispose of the property, if the property would be a family asset if it were owned by the spouse;

I should mention that this is one of many types of assets that get split up, another is marital property which includes (almost) anything acquired during the marriage OR period when the couple was living together OR engaged OR "in contemplation of marriage".

Community property is a marital property regime that originated in civil law jurisdictions and is now also found in some common law jurisdictions. The states of the United States that recognize community property are primarily in the West; it was inherited from Mexico's ganancial community system
