Am I Entited To Half Of The House If I Get A Divorce But Have Done A Quit Claim On The House Before?

[bothan]

A friend of mine has signed a quit claim on the house to his wife before, but is now going through divorce. Is he still entitled to half of the house since he lives in a community property state(CA)?
