[California] Wife and I are both named on a mortgage that originated prior to our marriage. If I refinance the mortgage in only my name because she s out of the country (physically separated), could that mortgage lose community property status if she decides to divorce me while living abroad?
Before we were married, my spouse and I purchased a home in a community property state (California) as tenants-in-common, with both of our names on the mortgage (so we each owned 50% of the property and 50% of the debt before we married).
We would now like to refinance our home, but my spouse is out of the country. The lender informed me that the only way to refinance while my spouse is out of the country is to have only my name on the new loan.

US President Joe Biden is adhering to his campaign promise to immigrants on the much wanted H-1B visa. On January 25, Biden withdrew a proposal to disallow dependents of H-1B holders on H-4 visas to work in the US bringing a sigh of relief to the immigrant community.
The newly elected president’s administration has also stated that it is willing to reconsider the objections or adverse decisions to foreign workers on visas like H-1B due to the three policy memos by the previous Donald Trump administration, which now have been revoked.
