What Property Does Not Get Divided in a Divorce?

According to Arizona Revised Statute section 25-213, “separate property” cannot be divded by the court. Separate property consists of items owned before the marriage or received as an inheritance or gift during the marriage and kept separate during the marriage. It is possible for a person to gift his or her separate property to community property–for example, re-titling the property as community property.
