What does divorce division mean?
Partition means the division of the spouses' assets and debts in the event of a divorce. It can be implemented:
as an agreement partition, where the parties agree on the division between themselves
as a delivery partition, where the district court orders the estate administrator to deliver the partition
It is important to do the partition carefully, as mistakes can significantly affect your financial situation in the long term.
