This volume examines the development of tracing doctrine in California family law across the first three foundational eras. Those eras include Early Foundations (1900–1959), The Modern Era Begins (1960–1969) & Consolidation & Presumptions (1970–1979).

AUTHOR: JEREMY J. SALVADOR

Jeremy J. Salvador has devoted his career to protecting separate property rights in California’s most complex dissolutions. After handling countless high-asset cases where tracing was the determining factor between the winning and losing, he recognized a critical gap: no comprehensive resource existed documenting how these principles evolved. These volumes represent years of meticulous research, distilling over a century of appellate wisdom into practical guidance. His work ensures that the strategies judges relied upon decades ago remain accessible to practitioners today.
