House in wife's name only

What is the name of your state? California
My daughter's house is in her name only. She is comtemplating a divorce but wants to know if her house would be considered community property? Thanks for your reply.

Was it owned free and clear before the marriage? was marital income used to make payments, pay taxes, maintenance or make improvements? How long were they married?

She bought it in 2006. They were already married then. They are both making payments on the mortgage and the improvements , and the taxes. They were married in early 2006.
