Leveraging the Malmquist Doctrine with

White Oak Legacy Partners

A Strategic Approach to Fair Asset Distribution

Property division in divorce cases often presents complex challenges, especially when equity in assets acquired before marriage has been paid into during the marital period. The Malmquist Doctrine, established by the Nevada Supreme Court in Malmquist v. Malmquist, offers a structured approach to distinguishing between separate and community property contributions. At White Oak Legacy Partners, we specialize in navigating the intricacies of this doctrine, providing individuals, attorneys, and courts with the precision and expertise required for fair property division.

- Separate Property Contributions: Payments and appreciation attributed to the owning spouse before marriage.
- Community Property Contributions: Payments and appreciation derived from community funds during the marriage.
• Provide clear and defensible documentation to support equitable distribution.
Property Valuation Expertise
• We analyze historical and current property data to determine the original purchase price and appreciation over time.
Calculation of Contributions
