When it is commingled.
Explanation: Under California law property owned before marriage remains separate unless transmuted (which generally must be in writing, Fam. Code §852) or effectively converted into community property by commingling or use of community funds so that the separate character is lost. It does not automatically become community property on marriage or after a year.
