Henry аnd Wendy, Cаlifоrniа residents and high schооl sweethearts, married in 2010. Shortly after the wedding, Henry began working as a software engineer and deposited all of his wages into a bank account he opened solely in his name. Wendy was aware of the account but did not have access to it. Over the course of the marriage, Henry continued to use this account exclusively, and by the time of their divorce, the account contained $100,000, all derived from his wages. In 2015, they purchased a home together and took title as “Wendy and Henry, as joint tenants.” The $150,000 down payment for the home came entirely from a bank account Wendy had maintained in her name prior to the marriage. The funds were derived from her wages earned prior to marriage. The remaining balance of the purchase price was financed with a mortgage, which they paid down over the years using community funds. In 2017, Henry’s uncle passed away and he inherited a classic car, a 1950 Chevrolet 3100. In May 2020, Henry told Wendy he was no longer happy in the marriage. He moved into the guest bedroom and stopped communicating as frequently. Unbeknownst to Wendy at the time, Henry had been involved in an extramarital affair since early 2020. Wendy remained hopeful, recalling past rough patches when Henry temporarily moved into the guest room before they reconciled. Wendy continued to care for Henry by cooking meals and doing his laundry. They regularly had family dinners and attended marriage counseling through the end of 2020. Additionally, they took family vacations in 2020 and 2021, and continued celebrating holidays and family events together, though always with their children present. After May 2020, they consistently maintained separate sleeping arrangements, even while traveling. Wendy states she emotionally accepted the end of the marriage after counseling concluded. Wendy filed for divorce in January 2023 when she learned about Henry’s affair. At the time, the home had appreciated to a value of $1.2 million. Henry kept the Chevrolet Truck titled in his name alone, the truck value had increased to $75,000. In December 2022, Henry received a $50,000 bonus. What are Henry’s and Wendy’s respective rights and liabilities, if any, regarding: The bank account? Discuss. The house? Discuss. The Chevrolet Truck? Discuss. The $50,000 Bonus? Discuss. Answer according to California law.
Just like clоckwоrk, Peggy’s аunt Dоrothy cаlled her the first Sundаy in April to remind her to come over to her house to help her get organized for her annual “Writer’s Conference for Historical Fiction.” Dorothy was an author who had published several best-selling historical fiction books. Each year, she told Peggy her primary purpose was to inspire new authors and provide tips for them breaking into the writer’s market. Peggy always admired her aunt because she was so articulate and creative. However, she was also very messy and disorganized. It was difficult for her to focus because she would often get distracted with a new novel idea that she immediately had to write it down. Since Peggy was very organized and loved making lists, she had helped her aunt get ready for this writer’s conference for the past five years. This year, Peggy (who was studying to be an accountant) told Dorothy she wasn’t sure she could come help her out this year because she was studying for the Uniform Certified Public Accounting (“CPA”) examination. “What?” Dorothy responded in disbelief. “You know I cannot put on this writer’s conference without your help! You know I appreciate and love you, my favorite niece! You’ve been such a supportive niece and done all this work for me for free over the past several years. Let me do something nice for you in return. You probably need some extra money to take that CPA exam. If you agree to help me out again this year, I will pay you $5,000 for the work you’ve done for me in the past five years and for this year in getting ready for this annual conference, including cleaning up the yard and pulling the weeds in the rose bushes by the circular driveway. As a token of my appreciation, I will give you an extra $1,500 when this is all done.” Peggy agreed to Dorothy’s oral proposal. She knew she would have to come up with the money to take the CPA exam, so helping her aunt again (this time for money) seemed like the obvious solution. After she had finished organizing Dorothy’s house, Peggy started working on cleaning up the bushes and pulling the weeds in the rose bushes by the circular driveway. However, she stumbled upon a bee’s nest and had to stop working. When she called around for bee exterminators, the most affordable bee exterminator quoted her $350 to get rid of the bees. Peggy called her aunt Dorothy and told her she would require an additional $350 for the bee extermination to continue her work cleaning up the yard and pulling the weeds in the rose bushes, Dorothy agreed, and Peggy started working again after the bee exterminator got rid of the bee’s nest. After the writer’s conference, Peggy sent her aunt Dorothy an invoice requesting total payment of $6,850. When she received no response from her aunt, Peggy called her, and Dorothy refused to pay. She apologized profusely and said that she didn’t have the funds because her turnout was lower than expected at the writer’s conference this year. Although Peggy felt bad, she went ahead and filed a lawsuit against Dorothy because she had been counting on that extra money to help pay for the CPA exam. Discuss the issues under Consideration and Promissory Estoppel only.
H аnd W were mаrried in Cаlifоrnia in 2015. H was an avid real estate investоr whо owned over 100 properties. Prior to the wedding (about 10 days before), H gave W a premarital agreement (PMA) drafted by his attorney. The pre-marital agreement stated: “All earnings and property acquired by either party during marriage shall remain the acquiring spouse’s separate property. Each party waives any right to seek spousal support from the other in the event of separation or divorce.” H told W, “No PMA, no wedding.” W did not have an attorney, and was not advised to get one. She loved and trusted H and signed it without reading it, on the same day. They got married. In 2018, W’s father passed away, leaving her a $500,000 inheritance. She used the money to purchase a house in Irvine. She took title in her name alone. The property was rented out to tenants, and W deposited the rental monies into a joint checking account with H. In 2022, W sold the Huntington Beach house for $800,000 and deposited the proceeds into the joint account, which had $200,000 already in it. The couple then bought a 1.5 million dollar home in Laguna Beach, using the 1mil in the joint bank account, and H contributed $500,000 from his premarital account. Because H already had over 100 properties, and he felt bad for making W sign a prenup, he agreed that W should take title in her name alone. H signed a letter and gave it to W, stating, “I agree that this new home belongs solely to W. I give up any community interest in it.” In 2023, H bought a $60,000 Steinway and Sons grand piano for W and gave it to her on her birthday, paid from the joint checking account. He blindfolded her and surprised her with it, saying “This is for you, sweetheart, you bring music to my life.” The piano was not titled. In 2025, W filed for divorce. W seeks spousal support. Analyze the rights of H and W regarding the following assets and issues under California law: Laguna Beach home; Steinway and Sons grand piano Provide a clear legal analysis, citing relevant California community property law principles.
