Title IV — Property Relations Between Husband and Wife
Article 105
ELI5— what this means for you
Under Conjugal Partnership of Gains (CPG), each spouse retains ownership of the property they owned before the marriage. What they share is only the net fruits and income earned by either spouse during the marriage. Think of it as 'keep what you had; share the profits earned together.'
Key point
CPG vs. ACP: Under CPG, pre-marriage property stays yours alone. Only gains during marriage are shared. Under ACP, nearly everything is pooled.
