What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California

In California everything is divided in half. On the debts, is it half the debt up to separation, or filing date for divorce?

It depends. Was the separation a formal one? How long were you separated before filing for divorce?

I moved out of the house in July, no formal paperwork filed for separation. Filed for divorce in October, so separated three months prior to filing.

Most likely its going to be from the date of filing for divorce in that particular scenario. Are you aware of the other party incurring any significant debt during that three months?
