The "community property" laws in various states would not apply to the bank account of a married couple living together. The fact it is is a JOINT account is all that is necessary in any state to make the money in said account as much the property of one partner as the other. The same would be true of a "joint" account between two people who aren't married--the operative word here is "joint."
is it considered community property?
