Top Moore Marsden Calculations Firms

A Moore Marsden calculation apportions the equity in a home that one spouse bought before marriage and both spouses paid down during it, splitting appreciation between separate and community property under California law. Family law attorneys, mediators and divorcing homeowners hire specialists to rebuild the loan and payment history, trace contributions and produce a report that will stand up in negotiation or court.

To compare providers here, ask whether they are a forensic accountant, appraiser or both, and whether they have testified on these calculations.

Buyer's guide

Hiring Moore Marsden Calculations companies

What the work covers, how to judge a partner and what drives the price.

What Moore Marsden calculation specialists do

The work starts with documents: the purchase contract, loan statements, refinance records and payment history, plus a valuation of the home at the date of marriage and at the current or trial date. The specialist calculates how much principal reduction the community paid, applies the formula to split appreciation, and adjusts for refinances, improvements or separate property contributions.

Deliverables are a written calculation with schedules and assumptions, often with alternative scenarios when facts are disputed. Many specialists also prepare related tracing such as Family Code 2640 reimbursement claims and Epstein or Watts credits, and serve as expert witnesses.

A Moore Marsden calculation determines the community property share of a home that one spouse owned before marriage, based on loan principal paid down during the marriage. It is used in California divorce cases to split appreciation between separate and community interests.

Experts charge a flat fee for a straightforward calculation or hourly rates for complex tracing, reports and testimony. Refinances, missing records, disputed valuation dates and court appearances are the main factors that raise the cost.

Forensic accountants and CPAs with family law experience usually prepare the calculation, with a licensed appraiser providing the property values. Some firms combine both skills. Attorneys often retain the expert so the work falls under their case strategy.

The expert needs the purchase documents, mortgage statements, any refinance records, proof of who made payments, and the date of marriage and separation. Property valuations at the relevant dates are also needed, usually from an appraiser.

A Moore Marsden calculation apportions equity in a residence between separate and community property. A business valuation estimates the value of a company or ownership interest, which in a divorce may also need its own separate and community property analysis.
