California Community Property Keyed to Carrillo, 11th Ed.
Rozan v. Rozan
Citation:
49 Cal.2d 322, 317 P.2d 11 (1957)Facts
Alice and Maxwell Rozan resided in Colorado until May 1948, when Alice, pregnant with their child, moved to Los Angeles to live with Maxwell’s sister-in-law. Maxwell joined her in July 1948, and they established their marital home in California, first in Canoga Park and later in San Gabriel. At the time they established California domicile, they had lost all their assets and Maxwell had to apply for a veteran’s pension to support the family. Subsequently, Maxwell worked as an oil broker and operator, primarily in Canadian ventures, and used money earned from these efforts to purchase oil properties in North Dakota. After acquiring these properties, Maxwell executed a series of transfers placing title in the name of his nephew Eugene Rosen, either individually or as trustee of a purported trust for the couple’s minor child. These transfers were made without Alice’s consent and involved suspicious circumstances, including backdated notarized documents, transactions without consideration, and acceptance of worthless notes as payment. Alice filed for divorce seeking division of the community property, including the North Dakota properties.
