This opinion has not been certified for publication or ordered published for purposes of rule 8.1115. IN THE COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA FIFTH APPELLATE DISTRICT In re the Marriage of KENDRA F. DAVIS (PRICE) and GRANT DAVIS, JR. KENDRA F. DAVIS (PRICE), F080554 Respondent, (Tulare Super. Ct. No. VFL228152) v. OPINION GRANT DAVIS, JR., Appellant. APPEAL from a judgment of the Superior Court of Tulare County. Brian N. Chase, Commissioner. Grant Davis, Jr., in pro. per., for Appellant. Maroot, Hardcastle & Jolly and Wayne Hardcastle, for Respondent. -ooOoo- INTRODUCTION Appellant Grant Davis, Jr. (Grant) appeals from a judgment of marital dissolution from Kendra Price Davis (Kendra).1 Grant contends the trial court erred by incorrectly valuing the parties’ home and the equity in the home for purposes of dividing their marital assets.

In her petition, Kendra valued the residence at $325,000 with debt of $243,105. 1 It is common practice to use the parties’ first names in family litigation “to both assist the reader and humanize a decision which seriously affects the litigants’ lives.” (In re Marriage of Schaffer (1999) 69 Cal.App.4th 801, 803, fn. 2.) 2 The record on appeal includes documents pertaining to family law proceedings that preceded the filing of Kendra’s divorce petition. The record also includes post- petition proceedings to modify orders issued prior to the filing of Kendra’s divorce petition. We deem those proceedings and related documents irrelevant to the issues presented on appeal. Consequently, we do not discuss them in this opinion. 2. On December 10, 2018, Grant, acting in …
