Newly married or considering divorce? Do you have questions about dividing assets and debts? Property can be complex, especially when emotions and finances come together. For example, what happens to your home equity after a divorce? What about debts incurred before you got married? These questions are crucial when you are faced with important decisions.

Community of property means that you and your partner share all your assets and debts, unless other arrangements have been made, for example in a prenuptial agreement. This can have complicated legal consequences, especially when it comes to dividing up assets in the event of divorce. As of 2018, the legal system is one of limited community property, where only what you acquire during the marriage becomes community property.
Pre-marital assets, gifts and inheritances therefore remain private property. If you draw up a prenuptial agreement, you can still include these assets in the community.
