In marriage, the financial relationship between spouses will often give rise to questions about spouses' disposal of assets, responsibility for debt, determination of ownership, and what agreements can be entered into between spouses regarding the division of property. With regard to agreements between spouses, advice is provided on form and content, separate property, exceptions to the rule of unequal division, property agreements, prenuptial agreements, and gifts.

When dividing joint property (division of property) in the event of divorce, advice is provided on the settlement of value; priority claims, claims for unequal division, debt settlement, equal division, and compensation claims. Furthermore, advice is provided on the settlement of property; the right of sale, the right of payment in kind, settlement, and right of use.
