Product details
Description
The 11th edition casebook is reworked and updated for ease of adoption and use. Readers are introduced to the California community property system with the most current materials.
Basic topics covered are (in order of appearance): contractual modification (Chapter 1); property characterization (Chapters 2 and 3); limits of the California community property system (Chapter 4); apportioning commingled assets (Chapter 5); management and control rights and duties (Chapter 6); dissolution (Chapters 7 and 8); and death (Chapter 9).
New topics covered are (in order of appearance): gifts; bank accounts; personal injury settlements; the rights and duties of nonmarried partners; different types of management and control rights; creditors’ rights; the relationship between management and control and domestic violence restraining orders; disclosure rights and duties during marriage and at dissolution; and nonprobate transfers. Recent legislation on date of separation is included; cases abrogated by that new legislation are identified. Current statutes appear in the text for ease of reference.
Three appendices give context. Appendix A includes relevant statutes from the following California Codes (in order of appearance): the Family Code, the Civil Code, the Corporations Code, the Probate Code, and the Civil Procedure Code. Appendix B provides students with the California Judicial Council Forms necessary to commence a dissolution proceeding. Appendix C provides example business valuation materials.

Shipping & Returns
-
Fast, standard shipping
Most students receive their books in 3 to 9 business days.
-
Free rental returns, whenever you are done
Print a prepaid return label from your account whenever you have finished with the book, and drop it at the carrier listed on the label. Returning early costs you nothing: it is the same free label, and sending it back sooner is welcome. Just be sure it reaches us by the semester deadline to avoid late fees.
-
Purchase returns: 15% restocking fee
Purchases can be returned within 30 days in the condition you received. We will email a prepaid return label; once we receive your book, we refund the purchase price minus the 15% restocking fee and the return label cost. Original shipping is non-refundable.
-
Shipping costs calculated at checkout
Real-time rates are quoted at checkout based on your address and the books in your cart. Returning your book is always free.
Rental Terms
Return by December 28, 2026 for Fall 2026 rentals.
- Late Fees
- Books returned after the semester deadline accrue a weekly late fee of about 10% of the book's Brand New price, for each copy that is overdue. The rent you have already paid counts toward the book's replacement value (its Brand New price), so late fees stop once your rent plus late fees reach it. That replacement value is the most a rental can ever cost you. We email a reminder 48 hours before any charge, and any late fees are charged to the payment method you save at checkout.
- Damage Fees
- Books returned damaged beyond normal classroom wear may be assessed a damage fee, capped at the book's replacement value (its Brand New price). Any damage fees are charged to the payment method you save at checkout after we inspect the returned book.
- Return Shipping
- Returning your book is free: print a prepaid label (USPS or UPS, whichever is cheaper for your package) from your account's My Rentals page, whether you send it back early or on the semester deadline. Cancelling a shipped rental for a refund is different: there, the return label cost comes out of your refund.
- 30-Day Cancellation
- Changed your mind? Cancel an active rental within 30 days of your order from My Account → My Rentals. Cancel before your book ships and it’s free; once it has shipped, we refund the rental price minus a 15% restocking fee and the return label cost, released once we receive your book. Shipping is non-refundable.
