Marriage of Franklin
Tracey Franklin (wife) appeals a marital dissolution judgment granting her former husband Darryl Franklin (husband) reimbursement under Family Code section 2640[1] for his separate property contribution to community property assets subsequently purchased during approximately 11 years of marriage. Wife contests the sufficiency of the evidence to support the trial court's tracing of £128,194,[2] which husband invested before marriage in a residence in London, England (the Spencer property). We reverse, finding husband's testimony of his intent to use separate property funds is insufficient evidence to trace his separate property interest to subsequently purchased community assets held at the time of dissolution.
