Legal aspects of property division during divorce

During a divorce, one of the key and most difficult tasks is the division of joint property. This process requires careful analysis, clear actions and knowledge of legal aspects to ensure a fair and rational distribution of property assets.

 

Legal basis

Ukrainian legislation defines the rules and procedures for property division during divorce. According to this legislation, property acquired during marriage is joint property of the spouses. How is property divided after divorce? During a divorce, this property is subject to distribution between the spouses.

 

Property division procedure

The process of property division during divorce can be carried out by agreement between the spouses or by a court decision in cases where the parties cannot reach an agreement. It includes such stages as property identification, its assessment, distribution and registration of relevant changes in documents.

The distribution of the joint property of the spouses is usually carried out in connection with the dissolution of the marriage. However, according to Clause 1 of Article 69 of the Family Code of Ukraine, the wife and husband have the right to divide the property that belongs to them under the right of joint co-ownership, even without divorce.

 

According to practice, spouses often raise the issue of the division of joint property only when their marital ties are terminated, and the legal act of marriage has remained only a formality.

It is important to note that if the spouses have in fact been living separately for a long period of time, a claim for the division of property after divorce may only be relevant for property that was acquired by them during the marriage. However, the division of property without dissolution of marriage terminates joint property only with respect to property that was previously acquired, but does not exclude community property that will be acquired in the future, since the marriage continues to exist.

The division of property between spouses can be carried out voluntarily, through the conclusion of a notarized agreement, or compulsorily, through filing a lawsuit in court.

Voluntary division of the common property of spouses requires reaching an appropriate agreement between the spouses, which is confirmed by a notary.
