Real Estate Transactions During Marriage

2319 SE Ankeny St, Portland, OR (Pre-Marital - SOLD)

Item Value
Sale Date February 3, 2022
Sale Price $760,000
Prenup Baseline $720,000
Appreciation $40,000
Net Proceeds $206,146.10

Classification: Pre-marital asset per Section 8c. All proceeds (including appreciation) are Eric's separate property. Proceeds were deposited to First Tech Credit Union on February 7, 2022.

3736 NE Everett St, Camas, WA (Homestead - SOLD)

Item Value
Sale Date July 3, 2023
Sale Price $410,000
Prenup Baseline $410,000
Appreciation $0
Net Proceeds $166,961.43

Classification: This was the marital homestead per Section 8b. However, since there was zero appreciation, Kelli's proportionate share of appreciation is $0.

2619 56th St S, Gulfport, FL (Acquired During Marriage)

Item Value
Purchase Date July 2022
Original Mortgage $551,200
Current Mortgage Balance $521,030.51
Estimated Market Value $573,100 (Zillow)
Current Equity $52,069.49

Down Payment Tracing: Bank statements confirm the down payment was funded by proceeds from the Ankeny property sale:

  • Feb 7, 2022: Wire deposit from First American Title ($197,553.53) into First Tech
  • Jul 12, 2022: Wire withdrawal to Fidelity National Title of Florida for 2619 purchase

Per Section 8c, pre-marital assets remain separate property "including reinvestment." Since the down payment was traced from pre-marital property sale proceeds, and current equity ($52,069.49) is less than the original down payment, 100% of the equity is Eric's separate property.

Kelli's share of 2619 56th St S: $0


Spotify Stock Options Analysis

Eric held multiple Spotify stock option grants. ALL grants were awarded BEFORE the December 28, 2021 marriage.

Grant Date Grant # Type Classification
01/01/2010 5230 ISO Pre-marital
12/01/2016 NQ7955 NQ Pre-marital
03/01/2019 NQ5293 RSU Pre-marital
Pre-2021 MM006808 NQ Pre-marital

Critical Distinction: Grant Date vs. Vesting Date

The 1099-B tax documents show "Date Acquired" which is the vesting date (when shares became Eric's property), NOT the grant date (when Spotify awarded the options). Per Section 8c, the grant date determines classification.

Evidence that ALL grants were pre-marital:

  • 2016 Spotify USA Benefits Summary confirms Eric's employment at Spotify in 2016
  • Spotify Share Register (Folio 1780) shows shares inscribed July 27, 2017
  • Eric left Spotify in 2023; no new grants could have been awarded that year
  • Grant MM006808 vested during marriage, but was AWARDED before marriage

Conclusion: The UBS Brokerage ($246,011.81) contains proceeds from pre-marital Spotify stock grants. Per Section 8c, this is Eric's separate property.

Kelli's share of Spotify stock: $0


Outstanding Loans

Kelli Personal Loan

Per Exhibit A, Eric loaned Kelli $20,000 prior to marriage. This loan remains outstanding and unpaid. This amount should be offset against Kelli's settlement share.

Chubby Bunny Loan

Eric holds a $75,000 loan receivable from Chubby Bunny (third party). This is Eric's separate property per Section 8c.


Settlement Calculation

Summary of Property Division

Category Eric Kelli
Separate Property (Section 8c) $653,036.40
50% of Joint Property (Sections 8a/8d) $16,799.02 $16,799.02
Subtotal $669,835.42 $16,799.02
Kelli Loan Offset ($20,000) +$20,000.00 -$20,000.00
Final Settlement $689,835.42 -$3,200.98

Settlement Outcome

Kelli's share of marital property ($16,799.02) is less than the $20,000 pre-marital loan she owes Eric. After offset, Kelli owes Eric $3,200.98.

Alternatively, Eric may choose to forgive the remaining loan balance.

Total Assets Verification

Component Value
Eric's Separate Property $653,036.40
Joint/Marital Property $33,598.03
Total Current Assets $686,634.43

Settlement verification: $653,036.40 + $33,598.03 = $686,634.43 ✓


Alimony/Spousal Support

Per Section 9 of the prenuptial agreement, both parties waived spousal support/alimony.
