In re Marriage of LeSage – Partition Action Case Study

In the legal case of In re Marriage of LeSage, 2007 WL 4200962, B189730 (29-Nov-2007) , the issue of partition was at the center of the dispute. The parties had entered into a marital settlement agreement (MSA) that provided for the division of their community property. The MSA provided that the parties would each receive a 50% interest in the community property, but that the husband would receive a larger share of the proceeds from the sale of the property. The wife argued that the MSA was invalid because it did not provide for a partition of the community property, as required by California law. The court agreed with the wife, finding that the MSA did not provide for a partition of the community property and was therefore invalid. The court ordered the parties to enter into a partition agreement that would divide the community property in accordance with California law.
