Legal Background

The Moore/Marsden calculation is based on two landmark California court cases:

In re Marriage of Moore (1980)

Established the principle that when separate property is used as a down payment on a home, but community funds are used to pay the mortgage, both separate and community property interests must be recognized.

In re Marriage of Marsden (1982)

Further clarified how to calculate the separate and community property interests in a home, particularly focusing on the allocation of appreciation in value.

Together, these cases form the basis of what is commonly known as the Moore/Marsden rule, a key framework in California family law. The CaseMate calculator provides tools to model these scenarios based on user inputs and assumptions.
