there is one estate between the spouses. Property and debts acquired prior to or during the marriage are shared equally in undivided shares (50%). Both spouses are jointly liable to creditors. This marital regime automatically comes into existence unless another regime is selected.

 

Divorce

When spouses have marital problems, they can either try to save the marriage through counselling or if there is no chance of saving the marriage, they can decided to dissolve the marriage through a divorce.
