See v. See
Supreme Court of California
415 P.2d 776 (1966)
Relevant factsFree
During their marriage, Laurance See (plaintiff) commingled his See's Candies salary and separate-property funds across two bank accounts used to pay marital expenses, and the trial court found no community property existed at separation based solely on a finding that community expenses exceeded community income over the marriage as a whole; Elizabeth See (defendant) appealed.
IssueFree
Whether a finding that community expenses exceeded community income over the course of a marriage, without more, is sufficient to establish that no property was acquired with community funds.
