I'm no lawyer, but aren't they joint unless by mutual agreement you arrange in advance for them to be separate?
Regarding my comment, I was referring to the fact that some people maintain separate banking accounts, credit cards, yadda yadda - particularly those on a second/third marriage. My sister and her husband, my father and my deceased stepmother, as examples. Sister doesn't have a pre-nup, but Daddy did (inheritance issues for her sons & his daughters).

We combined everything when we married...assets, debts, care for our children, etc. In fact, I gritted my teeth every time I wrote the check for the account that his ex ran up getting liposuction. Water under the bridge, and I take consolation from the fact that she is even fatter than me now. :D

Maybe I'm over-reacting,but it pisses me off that I have to obtain notarized permission from my spouse for an action that they wouldn't even let me make without jumping through a lot of hoops (name change, proof of marriage, etc.). THEY contacted ME...not the other way around. :mad:

From things I have gathered from friends who got divorced. If you happen to get inheritance before or during the marriage and you keep that object, cash, whatever by itself and not list it in both names it stays individual property. There are a few other things but dealing in the farm world where divorces quite often cripple a farming operation, this is generally the most well known one.
The part about inheritance is true. My father has left specific instructions for each of his three daughters regarding keeping our inheritance in our name. Oldest sis celebrates 50 years soon, I've been 25 years on my second (16 for the first), middle sis is ten years into 3rd marriage, so maybe he has a point regarding marital stability for 2/3 of us. However, once it's in my name, I make the decisions.
 
Killed a squirrel today. Pulled a pine tree over with the truck and when I got out to undo the rope, there it was on the ground a few feet from the tree. Nudged it a little to see if it was just knocked out. Nope, dead.

I think that’s the way to do it sometimes. I get annoyed when you order a pizza they like barely cut it into quarters and if you don’t have a cutter you gotta do the fold in half move. I’m not from New York, give me a normal size piece or smaller
