Legal Question in Family Law in California
California divorce.
My wife is claiming money I paid in child support for my children (former marriage) as reimbursable to the community property.
At the same time she was supporting (not legal child support) her daughter (my step daughter) who was at a university in another city. The expenses were rent, food and college tuition etc. The daughter lived there. Is that reimbursable the same as legal child support?

Your premarital child support obligation paid with community funds is not subject to reimbursement, unless you had separate property funds available at the time of the payments, which were not used.
