QUESTION 4
In 2008, Henry and Wendy married in California. Neither had saved any money before
marriage. At the time of the marriage, Henry had a monthly child support obligation of
$1,000, which was deducted from his salary, for a child from a prior relationship.
In 2010, Wendy accepted a job at Company. At that time, she was told that if she
performed well, she would receive stock options in the near future.
In 2011, Henry inherited $100,000. He used $25,000 to buy a necklace that he gave to
Wendy as a holiday present. He used the remaining $75,000 to buy a municipal bond
that paid him $300 per month.
In 2012, Wendy was granted stock options by Company, which would become
exercisable in 2014, in part because she had been a very effective employee. Later in
2012, Wendy was injured in a car accident and made a claim against the person
responsible.
In 2013, Henry and Wendy permanently separated and Henry moved away.
In 2014, Wendy settled her accident claim for $30,000. Later in 2014, Wendy exercised
her stock options and earned a profit of $80,000.
2. Should Henry be required to reimburse the community for his child support
payments and, if so, in what amount? Discuss.
