Since California, the state where the divorce papers were filed, is a community property state, both parties are entitled to claim anything earned or gained during the marriage, including debts. The distribution of assets and obligations requires judicial approval.
With high-value assets, that divide can easily get difficult, especially if there is no prenuptial agreement in place to define what is separate and communal property.
Citing “irreconcilable differences,” Joshua filed for divorce from Christina in Orange County, California, on July 7. He also asked for spousal support from Christina.
The Newport Beach residence of the split couple, which is reportedly valued at $12 million, is one of the assets mentioned in Christina’s answer to the filing, as per People.
Seven months after their October 2021 wedding, in May 2022, the couple bought the property.
Johua sought “rights to community and quasi-community assets and debts,” requesting that “any and all property acquired during marriage, except those acquired by gift or bequest, to be equally divided, including but not limited to: marital residence located in Newport Beach, CA,” according to documents that News was able to obtain.
Additionally, Joshua included in his inventory “any and all rights to any television shows and/or specials that either party developed, produced, or contracted during the marriage, including but not limited to any thing.
