Court decisions citing this, by year. The dip in the last several years is a data-coverage gap, not a real trend — our corpus holds fewer opinions from the most recent years, so recent citations are undercounted.

1. Any property acquired by a child by gift, bequest, devise or descent, with the rents, issues and profits thereof, is the child’s own property, and neither parent is entitled to any interest therein.

2. The earnings and accumulations of earnings of a minor child are the community property of his or her parents unless relinquished to the child. Such relinquishment may be shown by written instrument, proof of a specific oral gift, or proof of a course of conduct.

3. When a married couple is living separate and apart the earnings and accumulations of earnings of their minor children, unless relinquished, are the separate property of the spouse who has their custody or, if no custody award has been made, then the separate property of the spouse with whom such children are living.
