You can obviously prove that the corporation was yours before the marriage. If you don't put funds considered community property into the corporation than it is still separate when you get divorced. The profits from the corp while you are married are considered community property. If you reinvest those profits into the corp, it's the same thing as putting community property funds into it. It's a sticky situation.
Bottom line.. anything you had before the marriage is considered separate property as long as you don't contribute it to the marriage or use marital funds for it while married.
When in doubt, Prenup!
