Methods of Determining Property Acquired During Marriage in the Practice of the Supreme Court of Georgia

Issues of co-ownership of spouses are regulated by the Civil Code of Georgia. In case of a dispute between the parties, the requirements expressed by the spouses are given importance. The main essence of the co-ownership of the spouses is its acquisition during the marriage, unless something else is established by the marriage contract. This allows each spouse to acquire the right of co-ownership of the property acquired during the marriage.Contrary to joint property of spouses, there is individual property of spouses, which is separated from the regime of joint ownership. Its existence is due to the simple idea of leaving space for spouses to acquire property independently of each other. Property owned by each spouse before marriage and property received by each spouse during marriage by inheritance or gift are considered individual property. The existence of individual property does not mean that it is inviolable. The paper aims to assess the challengesof determining property acquired during marriage in the practice of the Supreme Court of Georgia.
