Legal Question in Family Law in California

I bought a home in 1997. I sold the home in 2004. I became a registered domestic partner in 2003. I used the profits from the home I sold in 2004, which was my separate property to make a down payment on a home my partner and I purchased in 2004. Would the money I used as a downpayment from my first home be considered my separate property or community property since it was sold after I became a RDP in california.

You would have to file a claim for reimbursement of the downpayment as your separate property. You should make sure you keep your records, and be able to trace and prove that you did not commingle any assets.
