This question means nothing. SHe needs an attorney to sit down with her and go through all of her assets.

Almost everything accrued DURING the marriage, bith assets and debts, are generally considered community property. Any attempt to hide any asset to try and "protect" it, would be a very stupid move.

Then encourage her to get a good attorney. That is the best advice you can give her.
