What is the division of property in divorce?

The division of joint property is based on the fact that certain assets only become the property of one and not both spouses. However, the division of joint property does not depend on the divorce, as it can take place: before the divorce, during the divorce or several years after the divorce. The division of the joint property of a marriage can be done judicially or amicably (out of court). In order to divide judicially, one must first file a proper application for the division of joint property. The division after divorce is generally subject to joint property. Spouses should reimburse expenditures and outlays made from common property to personal property (excluding expenditures and outlays necessary for income-producing assets). In addition, it is possible to claim reimbursement of expenses and expenditures made from personal property to joint property (excluding expenses and expenditures used to meet family needs, unless they increased the value of the property at the time of the cessation of the community).
