Property that was acquired before marriage; A gift or inheritance, which each of the spouses received during cohabitation; As well as things of individual, personal use are not subject to this section.

If, at the time of the marriage's termination, the spouses have not divided the property for one reason or another, they can conduct all the necessary procedures after the divorce. This can be done by signing an agreement on the division of property, and you can apply to the court. The latter option provides for filing a lawsuit.

Conclusion of an agreement

This method allows you to divide the property after divorce, without resorting to court. It has a number of advantages, both legal and economic. Therefore, a qualified lawyer for the division of property first of all will recommend this method to clients.

The economic advantage of this approach is that the conclusion of the contract saves the former spouses from the costs associated with paying the state duty when applying to the court. In addition, it will not be necessary to pay for the services of representatives of the parties in court.

The second advantage is freedom of contract. The agreement can be concluded on terms that maximally satisfy both sides. In addition, you can enter into it the conditions for the execution of monetary or property obligations with a prolonged period.

Spouses who have concluded an agreement on the division of property may not apply the principle of equality of shares of each of them.

Alimony is also discussed at the request of the parties.

Filing a lawsuit

Often the division of property after the dissolution of marriage can not be carried out by agreement, and the case can be transferred to a court where it will be examined according to the civil procedure legislation of the Russian Federation. If the value of the property is less than 50 000 rubles, then the case is examined in the world court district. And when the cost is higher, the case is transferred to the district court where the defendant resides. If a dispute arises because of immovable property, the case is considered by the court at the location of the property.

When the plaintiff applies to the filing of the statement of claim, he must pay a state fee, which is determined taking into account the value of the common property. The rules here are established by articles of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation 333.19 and 33.20. The claimant must document his arguments and claims.

There are situations when, having exhausted all the arguments, the spouses conclude that it is more expedient to conclude an amicable agreement that will be certified in the judicial procedure provided for by the CCP of the Russian Federation. It is because of this that the division of property after the dissolution of marriage, according to experienced specialists, should be conducted through an amicable agreement without filing a statement of claim with the judiciary. This is the most effective and fastest way to solve the property claims of former spouses.
