Marriage of Story CA6
This appeal is from an October 25, 2016 statement of decision after a two-day court trial in a dissolution of marriage. The primary issue at trial was whether the source of the down payment for the May 2002 purchase of the parties’ home on Webster Avenue in Monterey (Webster home) was community or separate property. James Story (James) asserted it was community property, while Rone Story (Rone) contended the down payment derived from her separate property. The court held that Rone had failed to establish that the funds used for the down payment were her separate property and she was therefore not entitled to reimbursement for that down payment under Family Code section 2640, subdivision (b).
