It turns out that not everyone understands this kind of legal principle,and in practice,disputes over joint property often occur. This kind of dispute also occurred between two people who were previously a husband and wife with the plaintiff (Nilda Yanti Binti Ardansyah) and the defendant (Nasrun Bin Sahril), As for the case that the Plaintiff disputed the joint property which was on land belonging to the Defendant's parents, this case arose when the Defendant did not share the proceeds of the joint property with the Plaintiff. For this reason, the researcher took this caseto beexamined in depthso that the Defendantwould sharethe proceeds of the joint assets withthe Plaintiff. What is formulatedin thisresearch is how to protect the Plaintiff's rights so that he can enjoy the proceeds of the joint assets?
