Property rights and duties of spouses
Answers are for parents and teachers.
1
Write six kinds of property (e.g. a car bought before marriage, an inheritance...) and sort them under “common” or “personal”.
Example: common — a flat bought with salary, deposits made in marriage, a business share built together; personal — a house bought before marriage, an inheritance, a watch given as a gift.
2
Why is a notarial certificate or a court decision needed to divide spouses’ common property? Write 4–5 sentences.
Because property rights are important, the lawfulness and voluntariness of an agreement must be confirmed; a court settles disputes fairly and considers children’s and creditors’ interests.
3
Can a person divorced two years ago still go to court to divide common property? Which rule do you rely on?
Yes, because the limitation period is three years and has not yet expired.
4
Is a musical instrument bought for a child divided? Briefly justify.
No; it was bought for the child’s needs and goes to the parent the child lives with.
