| ANNETTE MICKELS-SWAN, Appellant, v. GERALD SWAN, Appellant. |
C048694
(Super. Ct. No. FL016864) |
Annette Mickels-Swan and Gerald Swan both appeal from a judgment on contested issues in a proceeding for the dissolution of their marriage.[1] They contend that the trial court erred in various respects in characterizing, valuing, and disposing of their community and separate property. We shall reverse one of the orders and otherwise affirm the judgment.
FACTS
Annette and Gerald were married on May 26, 1990, and they separated on January 15, 1998. Gerald worked at California Eastern Laboratories (CEL) from 1974 until he retired in late 1993 or January 1994. All of his earnings were deposited into a Citibank checking account, and all of the parties' living expenses were paid from that account. Gerald's earnings from CEL were depleted by April 1995, several years before the parties separated.
Gerald's premarital assets included (1) a tax deferred â€
