Bill Text 

Relevance:  HB 547 would permit court-approved legal separation in a marriage and would permit the court to (a) permanently partition community property into separate property and (b) provide that future income from that property will be separate property.  HB 547 would require a constititional amendment.  Also pending is HJR 54, which proposes a constitutional amendment authorizing a court to partition community property and to characterize future earnings of spouses as separate property in the event of legal separation of the spouses.
