Separate or Community Roth IRA

[Abby]

If a spouse had a Roth IRA prior to marriage, would the interest it accrued during the marriage be community or separate? There were no additional deposits so it is just interest.

Generally speaking, all things owned or possessed by either spouse PRIOR to their marriage wouldn't be considered community property.

Don't take what I've said as gospel, because community property is a very complicated issue.

Plus, what you and your spouse have done AFTER the marriage will also figure into an EXACT answer to your query.

Should you seek more precision in an answer, I suggest you consult any, local, licensed Nevada attorney.
