Partition of Property After Divorce in Nepal: Rights, Exceptions, and Process

Partition of Property After Divorce in Nepal: Rights, Exceptions, and Process

The partition of property after divorce in Nepal is a crucial legal process governed by the Muluki Civil Code 2074. It ensures equitable distribution of marital assets acquired during the marriage, recognizing both financial and non-financial contributions. Generally, joint property is divided equally between spouses, covering movable and immovable assets. However, exceptions apply, particularly when one spouse is found at fault, such as in cases of adultery or abuse, where partition may be denied. The court also considers child custody, alimony, and maintenance while settling property claims. Legal support is essential to navigate documentation, valuation, negotiation, and litigation procedures. Law firms assist with consultation, legal filings, court representation, enforcement of court orders, and appeals. This article details the rights, legal exceptions, and practical steps involved in property partition after divorce in Nepal, helping individuals secure fair settlements while safeguarding vulnerable spouses and promoting gender equity.
