PHOENIX (AP) -- An Arizona Supreme Court ruling says a married person has some flexibility in deciding how to divvy up a retirement account that's his or her marriage's community property.
 
According to the court, a spouse who dies can leave more than one-half of a retirement account to a beneficiary other than his or her spouse even if the retirement account is community property.
 
The unanimous ruling says that can be done as long as the surviving spouse receives at least one-half of the value of the total community property.
 
The court issued its ruling Friday in a Pima County case in which a man listed his son from a previous marriage as the beneficiary of 83 percent of an individual retirement account.
 
The account was community property in his current marriage.
