Camille is entitled to California 50/50 community property division for the duration of the marriage. They also were married over 10 years and in California once a couple hits 10 years their marriage is considered lengthy and that changes the dynamics in in terms of spousal support.

Celebrity divorce and the ten year itch Liz Pullman Weston
Tom Cruise filed for divorce from Nicole Kidman just short of their 10th anniversary. Chris Rock, married for nearly 10 years to Malaak Compton-Rock, was rumored to be doing the same.
What gives?
Some media reports have said, incorrectly, that the 10-year mark determines when California couples have to split assets equally. As I explained above, that's not the case. Assets acquired from the first day of marriage are considered community property in California, unless there's a prenup.
However, there is a presumption, divorce attorneys say, that a union that's lasted at least 10 years is a "lengthy marriage," which in California can affect spousal support. A judge may approve a longer period of alimony for a lengthy marriage and may reserve the right to change the amount of alimony for several years after the divorce. Again, that's probably not an issue when the couple has a strong prenup.
