HOW TO DIVIDE ASSETS AFTER DIVORCE UNDER THE LATEST 2024 REGULATIONS

1. What is the principle of division of property of spouses when divorced?

Accordingly, on the issue of property division will be divided according to the provisions of Article 59, the 2014 Law on Marriage and Family specifies the principles of division as follows:

The principle of bifurcation (Clause 2, Article 59, Law on Family Marriage) but taking into account the following factors:

– The circumstances of the family and of the spouse;

– The contribution of spouses to the creation, maintenance and development of common property. The labor of spouses in the family is considered as paid labor;

– To protect the legitimate interests of each party in production, business and occupation so that the parties can continue to work to generate income;

– The fault of each party in violating the rights and obligations of spouses.

Thus, it can be simply understood that the principle of bifurcation is that each party gets half (1/2) of the value of property created during the marriage. However, the judge will consider other factors such as: Each party’s own circumstances, contributions, faults of the parties … That is, it is not rigidly applied that the bifurcation is 50:50% of the value of the asset, but it can be understood more flexibly that the split can be: 40:60 or 45:55% of the value of the assets created. In fact, in special cases it is possible to divide the ratio: 70/30 or 80/20 is still considered legal and legal.

The principle of dividing common property in kind (It cannot be divided in kind to divide by value with payment of the difference in value). This principle is quite easy to understand, the law prioritizes dividing in kind first, not dividing in kind, then valuing it into money to divide, the party receiving the item has the value of paying back to the other party with the difference amount.
The principle that someone’s private property is owned by that person (except in cases where separate property has entered into common property. In case of a merger or mixing of separate property with common property, the non-recipient party will be paid the value of its assets contributed to that asset).

2. How to determine common property, separate property of spouses?

According to the provisions of Articles 33 and 43 of the 2014 Law on Marriage and Family, there are provisions on the determination of common and separate property as follows:

2.1 How to determine the separate property of spouses

Separate property of spouses is included in the following properties:

+ Assets that each person has before marriage: Based on the date of marriage registration, if such property exists before that date, it is in principle the separate property of the party in whose name owns that property.

+ Property inherited separately, gifted separately during the marriage period: Based on the form of inheritance separately, donated to Private to determine separate property.

+ Property is divided separately between spouses (according to Articles 38, 39 and 40 of the Law on Family Marriage 2014).

+ Assets serving essential needs of spouses and other assets as prescribed by law.

+ Profits and profits formed from someone’s private property are his or her own property.

2.2 How to determine joint property of spouses

According to Article 33 of the 2014 Law on Family Marriage, common property includes:

+ Assets created by spouses, income generated by labor, production and business activities, profits, income arising from separate property and other lawful income during the marriage period

+ Assets that husband and wife inherit jointly or are gifted jointly and other assets agreed upon by husband and wife are common property.

+ The land use right acquired by spouses after marriage is the joint property of the spouses, except for cases where the spouses inherit separately, are gifted separately or acquired through transactions with separate property.

+ Common assets of husband and wife are owned jointly and consolidated, used to ensure the needs of the family and fulfill the common obligations of the spouses.

+ In case there are no grounds to prove that the property that the spouses are disputing is the separate property of each party, such property is considered common property.

In short, with this provision, in principle, property formed during marriage (from the date of marriage to the date of divorce or the death of one of the parties) is considered joint property if it cannot be proved that it is separate property. And according to the principles of division of property when divorcing in section 1 to settle if the couple cannot agree on a division with each other.

How will child custody be resolved without a marriage registration?

1. Is it illegal to live together as husband and wife without registering your marriage?

According to Article 14 of the Law on Marriage and Family 2014 stipulates as follows:

Dealing with the consequences of men and women living together as husband and wife without registering their marriage

1. Men and women who are eligible for marriage under the provisions of this Law to live together as husband and wife without marriage registration shall not give rise to rights and obligations between husband and wife. Rights and obligations towards children, property, obligations and contracts between the parties shall be settled according to the provisions of Articles 15 and 16 of this Law.

2. In case a man and woman live together as husband and wife as prescribed in Clause 1 of this Article but then carry out the marriage registration in accordance with law, the marriage relationship shall be established from the time of marriage registration.
Currently, the marriage is voluntary of the two parties, but there is no stipulation that living together must register the marriage.

Therefore, current Vietnamese law does not prohibit men and women from living together without registering their marriage. Although there are no rights and obligations between husband and wife, between men and women living together as husband and wife without marriage registration, rights and obligations for children, property, …

2. How are common children resolved if they have not registered their marriage?

Article 15 of the 2014 Law on Marriage and Family stipulates:

Article 15. Rights and obligations of parents and children in cases where men and women live together as husband and wife without marriage registration.

Rights and obligations between men and women living together as husband and wife and children shall be settled in accordance with the provisions of this Law on the rights and obligations of parents and children.

Thus, if a man and a woman live together as husband and wife without registering their marriage, the joint custody of their children will still be settled in the same way as they have been married.

According to Article 81 of the Law on Family Marriage 2014 stipulates:

Article 81. The care, nurture and education of children after divorce

After a divorce, parents still have the rights and obligations to look after, care for, nurture and educate their minor children, adult children who have lost their civil act capacity or are incapable of working and have no assets to support themselves in accordance with this Law, The Civil Code and other relevant laws.
Spouses agree on the direct custody of children, obligations and rights of each party after divorce for children; in case of failure to reach an agreement, the Court shall decide to assign the child to a direct custody party based on the child’s interests in all aspects; If your child is at least 07 years old, your child’s wishes must be considered.
Children under 36 months old shall be entrusted to their mothers for direct custody, unless the mother is not qualified to directly look after, care for, nurture or educate the child or the parents have other agreements suitable to the interests of the child.

Accordingly, the Court will consider the following factors to determine who is the direct custodian of the child:

+ The court decides to assign the child to a direct custody party based on the interests in all aspects of the child; If your child is at least 07 years old, your child’s wishes must be considered.

+ Children under 36 months old shall be assigned to their mothers for direct custody, if the mother is not qualified to directly look after, care for, nurture and educate their children, they will directly hand them over to the father to raise the child or prioritize the agreement of the parties if it is beneficial for the child.

Note: The wishes of children aged 7 years and older when deciding who to live with is only one of the factors for the court to consider the decision to assign the child directly to custody. The court must consider a range of other factors comprehensively to make a final decision. This decision is based on the best interests of the child and the appropriateness of the future upbringing of the child.

The rights and obligations of parents towards their children are very important, even if the parents do not have a marital relationship. Parents need to ensure that they are responsible and care about the development and education of their children later on. The relationship between father, mother and child is a sacred and noble relationship, so ensuring and maintaining this good value is contributing to ensuring the culture and fine customs of the nation, and at the same time contributing to the implementation of the State’s legal policies.
