Has your spouse continued using a community property asset after separation? Or have you been using your own money to pay community debts since you separated? Those circumstances can sometimes create reimbursement claims when your property is divided.

The Watts & Epstein Claims resource helps you understand two common post-separation reimbursement issues in California divorce cases and formally put the issues on the table.

A Watts claim can involve one spouse's exclusive post-separation use of a community property asset. An Epstein claim can involve certain community obligations paid after separation with separate funds. Whether reimbursement ultimately applies depends on the facts and circumstances of the case, but identifying the issues and creating a clear written record can be an important step.

Your purchase includes:

• A step-by-step guide explaining Watts and Epstein claims

• Editable Notice templates for Watts, Epstein, or both

• Completed examples

• A final checklist

If one spouse has been receiving the benefit of community property, or one spouse has been carrying community expenses alone, don't overlook the financial issues that may result. This resource helps you understand the potential claims and formally put the issues on the table.
