a gift is not peoples property but if some funds are used to make payments or maintain the house then she might be entitled.

a gift is not comminity property but if community funds are used to make payments or maintain the house then she might be entitled to something for that contribution.

I'm not sure I understand the question--who is the one getting divorced and who is the owner? Still, the following general rules may answer it: property received by inheritance or gift is the beneficiary's sole and separate property, unless such beneficiary gives it to the spouse (adds spouse's name to deed, or uses community property to pay for improvements to the house or pay off the loan with community property, etc.). The property's value may be used in calculating the support due you, but will not affect your rights to the community property of both of you.
