Reimbursement Accounting

Quite often, issues of reimbursement arise in settling the property aspects of a case. Separate contributions to community assets, community contributions to separate assets, separate contributions to the other party’s separate property, all complicate the division of assets. Furthermore, were these contributions occurring prior to marriage, during marriage, or post separation? Is real property involved or is one party using a community asset for an exclusive benefit? Reimbursements can address Family Code sections 2640 and 2641, Epstein credits, Watts reimbursements, to name a few. WZWLH has a long history of dealing with these reimbursement issues and can simplify the onerous task of quantifying the nature and extent of the reimbursable amount. We stay abreast of the most recent case law that may change this ever-evolving aspect of family law litigation.
