Here are the answers to the most frequently asked questions about the marriage separation in Quebec.
Partnership of acquests
Under this regime, certain assets acquired during the marriage are considered private property, while others are considered acquests, or shared property. Upon dissolution of the marriage, each spouse keeps his or her own property, but the acquests are shared equally.
Separation as to property
Under this regime, there is no automatic division of assets acquired during the marriage. Each spouse retains ownership of what he or she has acquired, whether property or debt.
Community of property
Although less common in Quebec, this regime means that all property, whether acquired before or during the marriage, is considered joint property and is divided equally between the spouses on dissolution of the marriage.
Legal separation suspends the spouses’ life together, but does not dissolve the marriage, allowing them to live separately without officially breaking the matrimonial bond (a separation without divorce.) Divorce, on the other hand, puts an end to the marriage.
The procedures and legal implications differ, which is why it’s important to consult a lawyer specialized in separating married couples to understand the nuances.
The separation of a married couple with a house usually involves sharing the value of the property, either by selling it and sharing the profits, or by buying out the other spouse’s share.
