For assets that can only be owned by one spouse, the divorce court must value the community interest in the asset, order it distributed to one spouse, and award the other spouse community assets of equal value or a promissory note. If such a division cannot be effected by the court, the asset is converted into tenancy in common. If a debt is not assigned, both spouses are responsible by law for payment of one-half.
