Everything About the Marriage Contract

A marriage contract is a legal agreement between spouses that defines their property rights and obligations both during the marriage and in the event of a divorce.

A marriage contract can be made both before and after the marriage registration, at any time.

A marriage contract can be made regarding both existing and future acquired property.

Spouses can:
Combine all of their property, including property acquired during the marriage, or Completely or partially refuse such a combination and determine each spouse's share or separate ownership of property.

A marriage contract is not necessary for property that belongs to each spouse individually, either before marriage or acquired by inheritance or gift during the marriage, as such property is automatically considered separate property of each spouse.

The contract can only be changed or terminated with mutual consent of the spouses. Unilateral refusal is not allowed.

If a spouse believes that the terms of the contract place them in an extremely disadvantageous position, they can apply to the court to change the terms of the contract.

The following cannot be changed by the contract:
duty of support between spouses;
Parental rights and duties regarding children;
Alimony obligations;
The right to apply to the court in case of dispute.

The marriage contract is an important legal mechanism that allows spouses to regulate their property relationships. Its use is particularly important for ensuring property security.
