You should consult a local divorce lawyer but an AI search yields:

In California, property acquired by a spouse after the date of separation—but before the finalization of the divorce—is generally considered that spouse’s separate property, not community property. The key date is the “date of separation,” which is determined by when one spouse expresses intent to end the marriage and there is physical separation, not necessarily the date when the petition for dissolution is filed. Property acquired after separation is not subject to division as community property, provided the separation is legally recognized and the asset was not acquired with community funds.[magdalena-law +3] Relevant California Family Code Sections • Family Code § 770 defines separate property to include assets acquired after separation. • Family Code § 771 specifically confirms that earnings and accumulations of a spouse, while living separate and apart from the other spouse, are considered that spouse’s separate property.

See what the lender wants. Is she willing to sign a document that this property will be your separate property and that she will have no claim to or in it?

I went through a similar situation but ended up with a final divorce before buying the home. Anywho, and I am no expert, I was told there is a form that could be filled out that states the X will not be a part of the purchase. Sorry I can’t remember the name, but my lender at the time said they could produce it. Maybe start with your lender, but remember she will have to sign it. I was in South Carolina while she was back in Nevada.
