If you both live and work in different state I recommend that you file your Federal return Jointly, and file each of your state returns separately.
Publication 555 (03/2020), Community Property | Internal Revenue Service (irs.gov) Community property laws generally.
Community property laws affect how you figure your income on your federal income tax return if you are married, live in a community property state or country, and file separate returns.
Since you DO NOT live in a community property state you are not subject to the California law.
