San Jose Breach of Fiduciary Duties/Waste of Community Property

Understanding Breach of Fiduciary Duty in California Divorce Cases

Married parties in California have similar existing rights as business partners. Business partners have fiduciary duties to each other, which include disclosing certain information and not acting against the best interests of the parties.

When one party fails to adhere to these fiduciary duties, they may later be found to have “breached” their fiduciary duty to the other spouse. This can result in being required to account for one-half or even the entire amount of any funds that were not disclosed or taken without the other party’s knowledge or agreement.
