The participation in acquired property is the standard matrimonial property regime and also applies in the absence of a marital agreement: all assets accumulated during the marriage are shared equally in the event of a matrimonial property settlement. Everything that the individual spouses owned, received as a gift or inherited before the wedding is part of their own personal property and is not subject to the division of matrimonial property in the course of a settlement.
The separation of property stipulates that there are no shared assets, instead, both partners manage their assets separately. This matrimonial property regime must be defined in a marital agreement or ordered by the court.
The community of property must be expressly defined in a marital agreement. Under this regime, everything that has not been excluded as personal property belongs jointly to the spouses. This matrimonial property regime offers the largest freedom to define individual rules within a marital agreement, in this way, for example, real estate or a company can be excluded from the joint assets.
