Community of Accrued Gains
The statutory marital property regime.
Without a marriage contract, spouses live in a community of accrued gains. Assets stay separate; each spouse manages their own. Only on divorce or death is the gain accrued during the marriage equalized, so that both share it equally.
The relevant statutes
