Here’s an example of commingled funds in a divorce: Suppose spouse A received a $50,000 inheritance before marrying spouse B. Spouse A deposits her inheritance into a joint bank account with spouse B after getting married. Both spouses contribute to this account and use it for shared expenses during the marriage. Although spouse A’s inheritance is likely considered separate property, it has now been “commingled” with the parties’ marital property. Therefore it may be subject to division between the spouses rather than considered spouse A’s separate property in case of a divorce.
