Margulis compliance

In re Marriage of Margulis (2011) 198 Cal.App.4th 277 held that the managing spouse has burden of proof to explain missing assets. Pursuant to In Re Marriage Of Margulis, Garrett C. Daily, CFLS, AAML stated:

“This case eliminates confusion caused by the Family Code §721’s statement that fiduciary duty does not “impose a duty for either spouse to keep detailed books and records of community property transactions.”

The managing (or control) spouse owes a fiduciary duty over community assets post – separation to the community.

McFideo™ monitors community asset accounts from divorce filing date, providing assurance both spouses’ fiduciary duty to the community is fulfilled.
