Understanding the Marsden Calculation in Property Division

At The Tabo Law Firm, we know that property division can be complex, especially when it comes to determining how much of a separate property home is considered community property.

The Marsden calculation is essential in this process. If you owned a home before marriage but made mortgage payments during the marriage using community income, the community can gain an interest in your separate property home. This happens because all income earned during the marriage is community property, and as the community pays down the mortgage, its interest in the home increases.

The Marsden Calculation helps determine exactly how much of your separate property home has become community property, based on the amount of principal paid down during the marriage.

If you're facing a divorce and need help with property division, The Tabo Law Firm is here to assist. Our experienced attorneys are dedicated to ensuring you get a fair outcome.
