Pre-marital property does not automatically become jointly owned by the couple upon marriage;<br>2. Property inherited or given as a gift by parents without compensation is generally not included in the remaining property difference;<br>3. Interest accrued on premarital property after marriage, as well as the repayment of premarital debts after marriage, must be analyzed separately;<br>4. Most importantly, preserve evidence, because if it cannot be proven whether it was premarital or postmarital, the law generally presumes it to be marital property.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>When preparing for a divorce, the first issue that comes up is often:<\/p>\n<p>&quot;I bought this house before we got married. Will it be subject to division in a divorce?&quot;<\/p>\n<p>&quot;My parents gave me 5 million yuan after my marriage. Can my spouse claim half of it?&quot;<\/p>\n<p>&quot;If I inherit my father&#039;s house, will it be included in his remaining assets?&quot;<\/p>\n<p>&quot;If a house was bought before marriage, but the mortgage payments have been made with my salary for the past ten years after marriage, how should this be calculated?&quot;<\/p>\n<p>&quot;If stocks held before marriage later appreciate significantly, is the appreciation considered marital property?&quot;<\/p>\n<p>These issues cannot be judged solely by the principle that &quot;what belongs to you before marriage must be taken away after marriage.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>Under Taiwan&#039;s statutory property system, spouses generally retain their own property. The real issues to resolve during a divorce are which assets are considered marital property, which are excluded by law, and the exact difference in remaining marital assets between the spouses.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, the first concept to be established is:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Divorce does not mean simply adding up all the assets under the couple&#039;s names and dividing them in half.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>What really needs to be judged is:<\/p>\n<p>When was the property acquired?<\/p>\n<p>What funds were used to acquire it?<\/p>\n<p>Was it inherited or gifted?<\/p>\n<p>Whether there were any benefits after marriage;<\/p>\n<p>Did marital property serve to pay off premarital debts?<\/p>\n<p>Whether the property was subsequently sold or exchanged for other assets;<\/p>\n<p>And whether they can provide documentation to prove the source of their assets.<\/p>\n<p>In cases involving premarital property, parental gifts, and inheritance, the decisive factor in the outcome is often not the name of the property, but rather:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Can you please provide clear proof of the source of the funds?<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>I. In the absence of a specific agreement on the marital property regime, it is generally considered a statutory property regime.<\/h2>\n<p>according to<a href=\"https:\/\/law.moj.gov.tw\/LawClass\/LawAll.aspx?pcode=B0000001\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Article 1005 of the Civil Code<\/a>Unless otherwise agreed upon in a contract, the statutory property regime shall apply to the couple.<\/p>\n<p>However, the statutory property regime is not:<\/p>\n<p>&quot;After marriage, all property becomes jointly owned by the couple.&quot;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/law.moj.gov.tw\/LawClass\/LawAll.aspx?pcode=B0000001\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Article 1017 of the Civil Code<\/a>It is clearly stipulated that:<\/p>\n<p>The property of a husband or wife is divided into premarital property and postmarital property, which belong to each spouse respectively.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/law.moj.gov.tw\/LawClass\/LawAll.aspx?pcode=B0000001\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Article 1018 of the Civil Code<\/a>It also stipulates that each husband or wife shall manage, use, benefit from, and dispose of their own property.<\/p>\n<p>therefore:<\/p>\n<p>The husband owned a house before marriage;<\/p>\n<p>The wife had 5 million yuan in savings before marriage;<\/p>\n<p>After marriage, these properties do not automatically become jointly owned by the husband and wife simply because they have registered their marriage.<\/p>\n<p>But this is only the first layer.<\/p>\n<p>When it really came<a href=\"https:\/\/fdlaw.com.tw\/en\/blog\/taipei-divorce-lawyer-2\/\">Distribution of remaining property after divorce<\/a>At that time, further processing is still required:<\/p>\n<p>What constitutes marital property?<\/p>\n<p>Which types of property acquired after marriage are excluded by law?<\/p>\n<p>And whether premarital property generates new income or other property changes during the marriage.<\/p>\n<p>For a complete explanation of the calculation method, please refer to the full instructions on &quot;Divorce Property Distribution&quot;.<\/p>\n<h2>Second, a house purchased before marriage will not, in principle, become marital property simply because of marriage.<\/h2>\n<p>For example, the husband bought a house in his own name three years before the marriage.<\/p>\n<p>The couple lived together for ten years after marriage.<\/p>\n<p>Simply because:<\/p>\n<p>marry;<\/p>\n<p>Living together;<\/p>\n<p>The marriage lasted for many years.<\/p>\n<p>This will not directly change the original pre-marital property into post-marital property.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, if the parties involved can clearly prove:<\/p>\n<p>Purchase time;<\/p>\n<p>Time of acquisition of ownership;<\/p>\n<p>And the property was indeed acquired before the marriage.<\/p>\n<p>In principle, the analysis should still begin from the perspective of &quot;premarital property&quot;.<\/p>\n<p>However, this does not mean that all problems are resolved once the house is purchased before marriage.<\/p>\n<p>If the house still has a mortgage from before marriage, and the mortgage is continuously repaid with post-marital income, then the issue of post-marital mortgage repayment needs to be addressed.<\/p>\n<h2>Third, if a house was purchased before marriage and the mortgage is continued after marriage, it cannot be simply stated that &quot;since it&#039;s a pre-marital property, it doesn&#039;t need to be considered.&quot;<\/h2>\n<p>This is a very common situation.<\/p>\n<p>For example:<\/p>\n<p>The husband bought a house for 20 million yuan before marriage;<\/p>\n<p>A down payment of 5 million yuan was made before the marriage;<\/p>\n<p>They still had a mortgage of 15 million yuan when they got married;<\/p>\n<p>The couple lived together for 15 years after marriage.<\/p>\n<p>The husband gradually paid off most of the mortgage with his salary after marriage.<\/p>\n<p>The house itself may still be considered premarital property.<\/p>\n<p>However, using marital property to pay off pre-marital debts after marriage is not advisable.<a href=\"https:\/\/law.moj.gov.tw\/LawClass\/LawAll.aspx?pcode=B0000001\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Article 1030-2 of the Civil Code<\/a>Other adjustments are subject to change.<\/p>\n<p>According to this provision, if a husband or wife uses marital property to pay off debts incurred before marriage, these debts should, in principle, be included in the relevant calculations when the statutory property regime is terminated.<\/p>\n<p>therefore:<\/p>\n<p><strong>&quot;The house was bought before marriage&quot; and &quot;How much of the marital property was used to pay off the mortgage after marriage&quot; are two different questions.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When handling such cases, at least the following should be compiled:<\/p>\n<p>Purchase agreement;<\/p>\n<p>Date of acquisition of property rights;<\/p>\n<p>Original loan;<\/p>\n<p>The wedding was held without the principal;<\/p>\n<p>The status of debt repayments during each period after marriage;<\/p>\n<p>And the source of repayment funds.<\/p>\n<p>A single current property copy is usually insufficient to complete the analysis.<\/p>\n<h2>4. If my parents gave me money after my marriage, must I share it with my spouse in the event of a divorce?<\/h2>\n<p>Not necessarily, and in many cases, it is not included in the distribution of the remaining property difference.<\/p>\n<p>according to<a href=\"https:\/\/law.moj.gov.tw\/LawClass\/LawAll.aspx?pcode=B0000001\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Article 1030-1 of the Civil Code<\/a>When a statutory property regime is terminated, the remaining property of each spouse after marriage should, in principle, be calculated based on the difference between their remaining assets.<\/p>\n<p>However, the law explicitly excludes:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Property acquired through inheritance or other gratuitous means.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When parents give gifts directly to their children, it is usually considered a typical case of gratuitous acquisition.<\/p>\n<p>For example:<\/p>\n<p>His wife received a gift of 5 million yuan from his father after their marriage.<\/p>\n<p>If it can be proven that the 5 million yuan was indeed a gift from the father to his wife, it will not, in principle, be included in the distribution of the remaining property simply because it was acquired after marriage.<\/p>\n<p>so:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Acquisition after marriage does not necessarily mean separation.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We still need to look at the reasons for its acquisition.<\/p>\n<p>This is why the handling of marital property cannot be based solely on:<\/p>\n<p>Date of acquisition.<\/p>\n<p>Also see:<\/p>\n<p>Is it salary?<\/p>\n<p>Buying and selling?<\/p>\n<p>invest?<\/p>\n<p>inherit?<\/p>\n<p>Or is it a gift?<\/p>\n<div class=\"fd-cta\"><h3>The parents provided financial assistance, and there was property owned before the marriage, but now they don&#039;t know how to handle divorce proceedings.<\/h3><p>If the case involves premarital property, parental gifts, inheritance, family property, or transfers of funds over many years, you can first organize the acquisition time, original cash flow, and current property status, and then determine which items belong to premarital property, exclude property, or should be included in the calculation of remaining property.<\/p><div class=\"fd-actions\"><a class=\"fd-button\" href=\"https:\/\/line.me\/ti\/p\/@723pifhz\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">LINE inquiry about divorce property cases<\/a><a class=\"fd-button secondary\" href=\"tel:0277093611\">Direct call<\/a><\/div><\/div><h2>Fifth, the most contentious issue when parents give money is not the legal rules, but rather &quot;who should receive the money?&quot;<\/h2>\n<p>For example, if a couple buys a house after marriage, the husband&#039;s parents provide an 8 million yuan down payment.<\/p>\n<p>During the divorce, the husband argued that:<\/p>\n<p>&quot;This 8 million yuan was a gift from my parents to me personally, so it doesn&#039;t count.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>The wife said:<\/p>\n<p>&quot;My in-laws clearly said they were buying the house for the two of us.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>At this point, the real point of contention is not:<\/p>\n<p>Can gifts from parents be excluded?<\/p>\n<p>Instead:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Is the gift intended for the son alone, or for both husband and wife?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The information that can be used to make a judgment may include:<\/p>\n<p>Remittance account;<\/p>\n<p>Whose account does the money ultimately go into?<\/p>\n<p>Communication records during the home buying process;<\/p>\n<p>What my parents said at the time;<\/p>\n<p>Is there a gift contract?<\/p>\n<p>Gift tax declaration documents;<\/p>\n<p>Property ownership registration;<\/p>\n<p>And other evidence that can prove the intention to make the gift.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, &quot;parents contributing money&quot; does not necessarily mean that all possibilities can be ruled out.<\/p>\n<p>The first step is still to prove:<\/p>\n<p><strong>To whom did the parents ultimately bequeath this property?<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>VI. The evidence structure for parents giving me a house directly is not entirely the same as that for parents giving me money to buy a house.<\/h2>\n<p>If parents directly gift a piece of real estate to their children:<\/p>\n<p>There are usually clear records of real estate transfer registration, reasons for donation, and relevant tax or contractual documents.<\/p>\n<p>The source of the property is relatively easy to identify.<\/p>\n<p>But if it is:<\/p>\n<p>The parents first wired 5 million yuan;<\/p>\n<p>Then the children, along with their own savings and a bank loan, will buy a house;<\/p>\n<p>They then used their post-marital income to pay the mortgage.<\/p>\n<p>The situation would then become much more complicated.<\/p>\n<p>It is possible for the following to exist simultaneously in the same house:<\/p>\n<p>Funds donated by parents without compensation;<\/p>\n<p>Post-marital income;<\/p>\n<p>loan;<\/p>\n<p>Even premarital savings.<\/p>\n<p>At this point, you can&#039;t just use:<\/p>\n<p>The house was bought after the marriage.<\/p>\n<p>or:<\/p>\n<p>&quot;Parents have down payment funds.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>Two sentences directly determined the outcome.<\/p>\n<p>Different sources of funding must be separated.<\/p>\n<h2>VII. In principle, inherited houses, land, or stocks from parents are not included in the remaining property balance.<\/h2>\n<p>Article 1030-1 of the Civil Code, in addition to excluding other forms of gratuitous acquisition of property, also explicitly excludes:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Property acquired through inheritance.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Therefore, for example, during marriage:<\/p>\n<p>The gentleman inherited his father&#039;s real estate;<\/p>\n<p>The wife inherited her mother&#039;s stocks;<\/p>\n<p>One party inherits the savings;<\/p>\n<p>One party inherits shares in the family company.<\/p>\n<p>Just because something was acquired &quot;after marriage&quot; does not mean it should be considered ordinary marital property and included in the remaining property difference.<\/p>\n<p>Inheritance itself and:<\/p>\n<p>Salary income;<\/p>\n<p>Post-marital investment;<\/p>\n<p>Earnings from work;<\/p>\n<p>Acquired through ordinary sale<\/p>\n<p>They are different in nature.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, when searching for &quot;whether inheritance should be divided in a divorce&quot;, the first answer is usually:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Inheritance itself is, in principle, property excluded by Article 1030-1 of the Civil Code.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>However, other problems may still arise later.<\/p>\n<h2>8. If an inherited house is later sold and the money is used to buy another house, is it still considered inherited property?<\/h2>\n<p>This is where the real difficulty lies in practice.<\/p>\n<p>For example:<\/p>\n<p>The wife inherited a house from her mother after marriage;<\/p>\n<p>The house was later sold for 20 million yuan;<\/p>\n<p>The 20 million yuan was then used to buy another house;<\/p>\n<p>The new house, plus the couple&#039;s savings after marriage and bank loan.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to divorce, you can see the following by looking at the registration date of the new house:<\/p>\n<p>&quot;Bought after the wedding.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>But this does not mean that the analysis must end here.<\/p>\n<p>What we really need to pursue is:<\/p>\n<p>Original inherited property;<\/p>\n<p>Selling price;<\/p>\n<p>Subsequent remittance;<\/p>\n<p>Payment for purchasing a new house;<\/p>\n<p>Other new funds;<\/p>\n<p>loan;<\/p>\n<p>And a record of the entire property transfer.<\/p>\n<p>That is to say:<\/p>\n<p><strong>A change in the form of assets does not mean that the original source of funds has completely lost its significance.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>However, the more times property is traded, mixed, and transformed, the more difficult it usually becomes to prove ownership.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, if the amount of inherited or gifted property from parents is large, it is very important to keep complete financial records.<\/p>\n<h2>9. If premarital savings are used to buy stocks after marriage, can the property still be claimed as premarital property?<\/h2>\n<p>These types of cases cannot be analyzed solely based on the fact that the stocks were purchased after marriage.<\/p>\n<p>For example, the husband had 10 million yuan in savings before marriage.<\/p>\n<p>After the marriage, the entire 10 million yuan was transferred into a securities account to purchase stocks.<\/p>\n<p>Years later, the stock market went through the following:<\/p>\n<p>Sell;<\/p>\n<p>Buy again;<\/p>\n<p>Interest payment;<\/p>\n<p>Capital increase;<\/p>\n<p>Share swap;<\/p>\n<p>And mixed with other post-marital salaries.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to divorce, what really needs to be addressed is:<\/p>\n<p>Can the original premarital funds be identified?<\/p>\n<p>Can the subsequent transaction chain be restored?<\/p>\n<p>Did marital property include it during this period?<\/p>\n<p>And whether the new earnings can be distinguished from the original principal.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, if the party concerned claims:<\/p>\n<p>&quot;These investments all came from my premarital assets.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>It&#039;s best not to just use the current securities inventory as an example.<\/p>\n<p>It should be retained as much as possible:<\/p>\n<p>Pre-marital account balance;<\/p>\n<p>First deposit record;<\/p>\n<p>Transaction details;<\/p>\n<p>Dividend record;<\/p>\n<p>And subsequent fund transfers.<\/p>\n<p>For cases involving high-asset, stock, and corporate equity assets with more complex asset structures, please refer to further reading &quot;...&quot;<a href=\"https:\/\/fdlaw.com.tw\/en\/blog\/high-asset-divorce-property-division\/\">Property division in high-net-worth divorces<\/a>Special Topic.<\/p>\n<h2>10. Just because premarital property doesn&#039;t need to be divided doesn&#039;t mean that any &quot;income&quot; generated after marriage is also excluded.<\/h2>\n<p>Article 1017 of the Civil Code specifically stipulates:<\/p>\n<p><strong>The fruits generated from premarital property during the marriage are considered postmarital property.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This is a very important rule that is also easily overlooked.<\/p>\n<p>For example:<\/p>\n<p>The property was owned and rented out before marriage, and the rental income was received after marriage;<\/p>\n<p>There was a fixed deposit before marriage, which accrued interest after marriage;<\/p>\n<p>Other premarital property that generates identifiable legal or natural fruits during the marriage.<\/p>\n<p>These factors cannot be completely ignored simply because the mother&#039;s property is premarital property.<\/p>\n<p>therefore:<\/p>\n<p>&quot;The principal is premarital property.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>and<\/p>\n<p>&quot;New income generated from this property after marriage&quot;<\/p>\n<p>They must be analyzed separately.<\/p>\n<h2>11. If the value of a house increases from 10 million yuan to 30 million yuan before marriage, is the extra 20 million yuan considered marital property?<\/h2>\n<p>This problem cannot be solved directly:<\/p>\n<p>&quot;Anything added after marriage is marital property.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>Let me answer.<\/p>\n<p>If the real estate was acquired before marriage, then fluctuations in market prices are a different issue from acquiring new property after marriage.<\/p>\n<p>However, the actual cases still need further confirmation.<\/p>\n<p>Did the house undergo any major renovations after the marriage?<\/p>\n<p>Whether a large portion of the pre-marital mortgage was repaid with funds acquired after marriage;<\/p>\n<p>Will additional funds be invested after marriage?<\/p>\n<p>Whether it will be converted into other assets after sale;<\/p>\n<p>And whether any rent or other interest has been generated.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, it cannot be simply used as:<\/p>\n<p>Pre-marital housing prices<br>vs.<br>House price at the time of divorce<\/p>\n<p>The difference between the two figures is naturally considered as marital property to be allocated.<\/p>\n<p>What really needs to be addressed is:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Can the assets themselves, post-marital investments, and post-marital rights be distinguished?<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>12. If a house is given to you by your parents and then rented out, is the rent calculated as if it were the house itself?<\/h2>\n<p>Don&#039;t treat the two as the same thing.<\/p>\n<p>The house itself may be property that was given to the parents without compensation and is legally excluded from the remaining property difference.<\/p>\n<p>However, property acquired during the marriage:<\/p>\n<p>rent;<\/p>\n<p>Investment returns;<\/p>\n<p>Income from reinvestment;<\/p>\n<p>Or other new benefits,<\/p>\n<p>It should still be determined separately based on its legal nature, source, and actual acquisition method.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, the analysis should include:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Original donated assets<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>and:<\/p>\n<p><strong>New income or property generated after marriage<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>separate.<\/p>\n<p>This is similar to the idea of separating premarital property from its post-marital proceeds.<\/p>\n<h2>13. What happens to the property my spouse gave me in a divorce?<\/h2>\n<p>This is another common controversy.<\/p>\n<p>For example, after marriage, the husband would:<\/p>\n<p>house;<\/p>\n<p>stock;<\/p>\n<p>cash;<\/p>\n<p>Company equity<\/p>\n<p>A gift for my wife.<\/p>\n<p>Several years later, after their divorce, the husband said:<\/p>\n<p>&quot;These were originally mine, so they should be returned to me now.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>At this point, it&#039;s not enough to just look at who owned the property the earliest.<\/p>\n<p>Must be confirmed first:<\/p>\n<p>Was the gift actually given at that time?<\/p>\n<p>What is the object of the gift?<\/p>\n<p>Who now owns the rights?<\/p>\n<p>Are there any other contractual or rescission issues?<\/p>\n<p>And how to determine the remaining property under the residual property system.<\/p>\n<p>If the case itself involves a dispute over real estate gifts between spouses or related to divorce following a gift, further reading of existing FDLAW resources is recommended.<a href=\"https:\/\/fdlaw.com.tw\/en\/blog\/spousal-gift\/\">Gifts from spouses<\/a>Special Feature.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#039;t:<\/p>\n<p>Gifts from spouses<\/p>\n<p>and:<\/p>\n<p>Gifts from parents to their children<\/p>\n<p>They were grouped into the same type of case.<\/p>\n<h2>Fourteen, whose name the property is registered under is important, but it is not the sole criterion for determining the remaining assets.<\/h2>\n<p>For example:<\/p>\n<p>The house is registered under the wife&#039;s name;<\/p>\n<p>The husband believes it was a joint investment made after marriage;<\/p>\n<p>The wife insisted that everything was a gift from her parents.<\/p>\n<p>or:<\/p>\n<p>The stock is registered in Mr.&#039;s name;<\/p>\n<p>The wife believes it was purchased with the couple&#039;s joint savings.<\/p>\n<p>At this time:<\/p>\n<p>Ownership registration;<\/p>\n<p>Source of funding;<\/p>\n<p>Reason for acquisition;<\/p>\n<p>The meaning of gift;<\/p>\n<p>loan;<\/p>\n<p>and payment records<\/p>\n<p>Both could potentially serve as evidence.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, it cannot be simplified to:<\/p>\n<p>&quot;Whoever&#039;s name is on the deed owns it; you don&#039;t need to worry about it at all if there&#039;s a divorce.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>Under the statutory property regime, although each spouse owns their own property, the remaining property after divorce is still calculated on another level based on factors such as whether it was acquired before or after marriage, the reason for acquisition, and debts.<\/p>\n<h2>15. The biggest problem with premarital property is not the lack of legal provisions, but the inability to prove its existence years later.<\/h2>\n<p>Article 1017 of the Civil Code contains a very important presumption:<\/p>\n<p><strong class=\"fd-period\">If it cannot be proven that the property was acquired before or after marriage, it is presumed to be property acquired after marriage.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Therefore, if the party concerned claims:<\/p>\n<p>&quot;I had this money before I got married.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>The most important thing is not how certain you are, but whether you can provide supporting data.<\/p>\n<p>For example:<\/p>\n<p>Pre-marital bank statements;<\/p>\n<p>passbook;<\/p>\n<p>Securities inventory;<\/p>\n<p>Real estate acquisition information;<\/p>\n<p>Purchase and sale contract;<\/p>\n<p>Tax filing documents;<\/p>\n<p>Property list;<\/p>\n<p>Remittance records;<\/p>\n<p>Other financial information with dates.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#039;ve been married for 20 years and all records are missing, all that&#039;s left is:<\/p>\n<p>&quot;I remember I had that much money back then.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>The difficulty of proving a case in litigation usually increases significantly.<\/p>\n<h2>16. Is it always enough for parents to say, &quot;This is a gift I&#039;m giving to my child&quot;?<\/h2>\n<p>Parents\u2019 testimonies can certainly be evidence, but courts usually don\u2019t accept all claims based on just one statement.<\/p>\n<p>Especially after divorce proceedings, the parents usually have a very close kinship with one of the parents.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, if you claim that a large sum of money is a gift from your parents, it is best to also provide:<\/p>\n<p>money transfer;<\/p>\n<p>contract;<\/p>\n<p>Donation application;<\/p>\n<p>Property transfer;<\/p>\n<p>Communication records;<\/p>\n<p>Payment for a house;<\/p>\n<p>Other objective data<\/p>\n<p>Support each other.<\/p>\n<p>The higher the amount, the more important it is to thoroughly investigate the flow of funds.<\/p>\n<p>For example:<\/p>\n<p>The parents proposed gifting their children 20 million yuan to purchase a house.<\/p>\n<p>However, bank records show that the funds were paid from the couple&#039;s joint account.<\/p>\n<p>This will inevitably lead to significant controversy between the two.<\/p>\n<h2>17. If premarital property and marital property are mixed in the same account, is there any way to distinguish them?<\/h2>\n<p>They may not be completely indistinguishable, but it will increase the difficulty of proof.<\/p>\n<p>For example:<\/p>\n<p>The account already had 5 million yuan in premarital savings at the time of the marriage;<\/p>\n<p>Even after marriage, his salary continued to be deposited into the same account;<\/p>\n<p>Living expenses are paid from the same account;<\/p>\n<p>Investment funds also come and go through this channel;<\/p>\n<p>Ten years later, the account had 8 million yuan left.<\/p>\n<p>At this point, it&#039;s not enough to simply say:<\/p>\n<p>&quot;There was 5 million yuan at the time, so at least 5 million yuan must be premarital property now.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>Because during this period there may have already been:<\/p>\n<p>Withdrawal;<\/p>\n<p>Consumption;<\/p>\n<p>invest;<\/p>\n<p>New revenue;<\/p>\n<p>Fund conversion.<\/p>\n<p>What really matters is whether the transaction data can be reasonably reconstructed.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, families with high assets, if they have:<\/p>\n<p>Pre-marital assets;<\/p>\n<p>Family gift;<\/p>\n<p>Inheriting property<\/p>\n<p>In practice, clearly identifying and recording the sources of funds can often significantly reduce future disputes.<\/p>\n<h2>18. If premarital savings are used to pay for living expenses after marriage, can the couple request full refund upon divorce?<\/h2>\n<p>That&#039;s not necessarily true.<\/p>\n<p>Married life itself will have:<\/p>\n<p>Household living expenses;<\/p>\n<p>Mortgage;<\/p>\n<p>Children&#039;s education;<\/p>\n<p>Medical care;<\/p>\n<p>travel;<\/p>\n<p>Daily expenses.<\/p>\n<p>If premarital property has been used up during the marriage, it cannot be assumed that the other party must return all of it upon divorce simply because the property originally came from premarital property.<\/p>\n<p>But if it involves:<\/p>\n<p>Debts incurred during the marriage can be settled using premarital property.<\/p>\n<p>Article 1030-2 of the Civil Code provides for other provisions on compensation calculation.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, it is necessary to distinguish between:<\/p>\n<p>Typical household consumption;<\/p>\n<p>Debts and claims between spouses;<\/p>\n<p>And the legally stipulated premarital\/postmarital property settlement relationship.<\/p>\n<p>All expenses cannot be calculated together.<\/p>\n<h2>19. What if money inherited or given by parents is used to pay off a spouse&#039;s debts?<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/law.moj.gov.tw\/LawClass\/LawAll.aspx?pcode=B0000001\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Article 1023 of the Civil Code<\/a>The regulations stipulate that each spouse is responsible for repaying their own debts.<\/p>\n<p>If one spouse uses their own property to pay off the other spouse&#039;s debts, even during the marriage, they may still be required to seek repayment from the other spouse.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, for example:<\/p>\n<p>His wife inherited 5 million yuan from her father;<\/p>\n<p>Of the 3 million yuan, 3 million yuan was used to pay off the husband&#039;s personal premarital debts.<\/p>\n<p>Just because the two were married at the time does not mean that this property does not need to be dealt with at all.<\/p>\n<p>It should still be confirmed that:<\/p>\n<p>Nature of debt;<\/p>\n<p>Reason for payment;<\/p>\n<p>Does it imply a gift?<\/p>\n<p>The two parties agreed;<\/p>\n<p>And related evidence.<\/p>\n<h2>20. Divorce property is not simply divided into &quot;pre-marital&quot; and &quot;post-marital&quot; categories.<\/h2>\n<p>A truly complete classification typically includes at least:<\/p>\n<p>Premarital property;<\/p>\n<p>Generally, marital property;<\/p>\n<p>Inherited property;<\/p>\n<p>Other property acquired without compensation;<\/p>\n<p>solatium;<\/p>\n<p>Proceeds from premarital property;<\/p>\n<p>Mixing premarital property with post-marital funds;<\/p>\n<p>Use of marital property to pay off premarital debts;<\/p>\n<p>Pre-marital property is used to pay off post-marital debts;<\/p>\n<p>And assets that may be subject to additional calculation before the divorce.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, the more complex the case, the less suitable it is to only do:<\/p>\n<p>&quot;This one before marriage, that one after marriage&quot;<\/p>\n<p>The two-column Excel file is now complete.<\/p>\n<p>What should really be established is:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Source of assets + transaction history + current status.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>21. If the other party claims that all their property was a gift from their parents, how should I investigate?<\/h2>\n<p>This is very common in high-asset or family business cases.<\/p>\n<p>For example, the other party has:<\/p>\n<p>Properties worth tens of millions of yuan;<\/p>\n<p>Company shares;<\/p>\n<p>Investment account;<\/p>\n<p>Large deposits<\/p>\n<p>However, during the divorce proceedings, they argued that:<\/p>\n<p>&quot;They were all gifts from my parents.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>At this point, we cannot simply accept the conclusion.<\/p>\n<p>Each item should be confirmed one by one:<\/p>\n<p>When to give it;<\/p>\n<p>Did the parents have sufficient resources at the time?<\/p>\n<p>How to deliver;<\/p>\n<p>Is there any bank transaction?<\/p>\n<p>Did you provide any relevant materials?<\/p>\n<p>Property registration at that time;<\/p>\n<p>Subsequent property conversion;<\/p>\n<p>And whether the funds were mixed with post-marital income.<\/p>\n<p>If most of the assets actually come from:<\/p>\n<p>Salary;<\/p>\n<p>Operating income;<\/p>\n<p>invest;<\/p>\n<p>Accumulated after marriage;<\/p>\n<p>We can&#039;t let it be because of a subsequent statement:<\/p>\n<p>&quot;Given by my parents.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>And it will be automatically excluded.<\/p>\n<h2>22. If your spouse begins to disguise marital property as a gift from your parents, be aware of potential issues related to asset divestment.<\/h2>\n<p>Another situation may occur before a divorce:<\/p>\n<p>Property that was originally acquired during the marriage and clearly belonged to the spouse was suddenly claimed before the divorce:<\/p>\n<p>&quot;This was actually borrowed from my parents before.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>or:<\/p>\n<p>&quot;This money originally belonged to the family.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>Even new ones have emerged:<\/p>\n<p>IOU;<\/p>\n<p>The interpretation of gifting;<\/p>\n<p>Accounts between relatives and friends.<\/p>\n<p>This situation cannot be analyzed solely from the perspective of &quot;whether the gifted property is excluded&quot;.<\/p>\n<p>If it has already occurred:<\/p>\n<p>Sudden transfer of funds;<\/p>\n<p>Fictitious debt;<\/p>\n<p>Transactions with relatives and friends;<\/p>\n<p>The assets were transferred away;<\/p>\n<p>It is also necessary to assess whether it involves pre-divorce asset disposal, additional calculation, revocation, or provisional seizure.<\/p>\n<p>This section can be read directly:<\/p>\n<p>\u300c<a href=\"https:\/\/fdlaw.com.tw\/en\/blog\/divorce-asset-dissipation\/\">Pre-divorce asset transfer, concealment of assets, and false attachment<\/a>\u3002<\/p>\n<h2>23.

Real estate acquired before marriage is generally considered premarital property and doesn&#039;t automatically become jointly owned by the couple upon marriage. However, if marital property is used to pay off existing mortgage payments after marriage, further calculations will be made according to Article 1030-2 of the Civil Code.<\/p><\/details>\n<details><summary>My parents gave me 5 million yuan after my marriage. Should I get a share of it in a divorce?<\/summary><p>If it can be proven that the property was a gratuitous gift from your parents to you personally, it generally falls under the category of gratuitous property excluded by Article 1030-1 of the Civil Code, and is not automatically included in the remaining property balance simply because it was acquired after marriage. However, it is still necessary to prove the fact of the gift and the recipient.<\/p><\/details>\n<details><summary>If a house is inherited after marriage, is it entitled to a share in a divorce?<\/summary><p>In principle, inherited property is not included in the distribution of the remaining assets. However, if inherited property is later sold, reinvested, or mixed with other funds, it may still be necessary to prove the source and conversion of the subsequent assets through financial documentation.<\/p><\/details>\n<details><summary>What happens if parents help with the down payment on a house during a divorce?<\/summary><p>First, it needs to be determined whether the gift from the parents was to one spouse, to both spouses, or a loan. This can be determined by examining remittance records, communications, gift documents, tax records, and the home purchase payment process. It cannot be assumed that all the money from the parents&#039; contributions automatically belongs to one spouse and is excluded from ownership.<\/p><\/details>\n<details><summary>If there was 5 million yuan before marriage, and it was put into the same account after marriage, can the couple still claim it now?<\/summary><p>You can make a claim, but you must examine transaction records over many years to determine the source of the funds. If premarital funds are consistently mixed with post-marital salaries, living expenses, and investments, the difficulty of proving ownership usually increases. Article 1017 of the Civil Code stipulates that property that cannot be proven to be premarital or post-marital property is presumed to be post-marital property.<\/p><\/details>\n<details><summary>If a house purchased before marriage appreciates in value after marriage, is the increased value obligated to be divided?<\/summary><p>It&#039;s not enough to simply use the price difference to determine ownership. Whether the original property was premarital property, whether any funds were invested after marriage, whether mortgage payments were made with post-marital income, and whether rental income or other revenue was generated should all be analyzed separately.<\/p><\/details>\n<details><summary>If you inherit a house and then rent it out, are you sure you don&#039;t have to share the rent?<\/summary><p>It is inappropriate to treat inherited property and newly generated income after marriage as the same thing. Inherited real estate is generally excluded property, but rental income or other income generated during the marriage should be determined separately according to its legal nature and source.<\/p><\/details>\n<details><summary>The other party claims that all their assets were gifts from their parents. Do I have no choice but to accept this?<\/summary><p>No. The party claiming that the property was acquired gratuitously should still provide corresponding evidence. This can be done by examining objective documents such as remittance and gift documents, the time of acquisition, the use of funds, property transfers, and the parents&#039; financial resources, rather than relying solely on one party&#039;s post-divorce statement.<\/p><\/details>\n<\/div>\n\n<section class=\"fdlaw-related-posts\"><h2 class=\"fdlaw-related-posts__title\">Further reading<\/h2><div class=\"fdlaw-related-posts__grid\"><a class=\"fdlaw-related-card\" href=\"https:\/\/fdlaw.com.tw\/en\/blog\/taipei-divorce-lawyer-2\/\"><div class=\"fdlaw-related-card__image\"><img width=\"768\" height=\"466\" src=\"https:\/\/fdlaw.com.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/messageImage_1772972211049-768x466.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) calc(100vw - 40px), (max-width: 1100px) 45vw, 520px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fdlaw.com.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/messageImage_1772972211049-768x466.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fdlaw.com.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/messageImage_1772972211049-300x182.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fdlaw.com.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/messageImage_1772972211049-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/fdlaw.com.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/messageImage_1772972211049.jpg 848w\" title=\"\"><\/div><div class=\"fdlaw-related-card__body\"><h3 class=\"fdlaw-related-card__title\">[2026 Latest] How is property divided in a divorce?
