Sharon v. Rico

Opinion

KING, Acting P. J.—

I

Introduction

In this case we hold when, prior to marriage, spouses each contributed separate property funds to purchase real property, with title taken in both names as tenants in common, and payments after marriage are made with community funds, the correct method to calculate the separate and community interests of the parties upon dissolution is the same method as when the property is the separate property of only one spouse and payments after marriage are made with community property funds, that method generally known as the Moore-Marsden rule.
