In the local volume limited sample of white dwarfs, some 12% are found paired with M dwarfs. However, there are no known high field magnetic white dwarfs with a detached M dwarf companion. Such pairings also seem to be uncommon in the general class of massive white dwarfs, regardless of whether they are strongly magnetic or not. Taking note of the fact that high field magnetic white dwarfs tend to have high-mass progenitors, we investigate the possibility that the above result may be a direct consequence of the manner in which stars form and pair on the main sequence.
