What the film shows
Traces a spouse's premarital or inherited money through commingled accounts to what it bought
Agents read every statement, sort every deposit by its source, draw the daily balance with the separate claim as a floor under it, mark every day the floor drops under the lowest-intermediate-balance rule, recompute the claim under each method the state accepts, follow the surviving money into what it bought and draft the cited schedule and testimony outline. The forensic accountant signs; the attorney decides what is claimed and approves the exhibit.
