Property relations between the spouses end by virtue of the dissolution, declaration of nullity or annulment of the marriage, or legal separation or a mere judicial separation of property (cfrs. arts. 1688, 1788, 1795-A and 177 of the Civil Code).
If any of these situations occur, the marital assets have to be divided, whereby the spouses take their own assets and a share in the common marital property, after debts have been paid and any debts each holds in relation to the other have been set-off (cf. art. 1689 of the Civil Code).
This division can be performed by public deed, when the parties agree, or by notarial distribution process.
