My response:

No. Only a family law court judgment may divest the nonbankrupt spouse of his or her community interests. [Marriage of Seligman, supra, 14 Cal.App.4th at 308, 18 Cal.Rptr.2d at 214]; i.e., there is no automatic abandonment of property or a marriage until a judge says so, and makes orders concerning the property, of whatever nature.
