Title IV — Property Relations Between Husband and Wife

Article 89

EO 209 · Family Code of the Philippines

ELI5— what this means for you

The Absolute Community of Property begins exactly at the moment of the marriage ceremony. Any transaction entered before the ceremony, even if on the same day, does not fall under ACP.

Official text — EO 209

No waiver of rights, shares and effects of the absolute community of property during the marriage can be made except in case of judicial separation of property.

When the waiver takes place upon a judicial separation of property, or after the marriage has been dissolved or annulled, the same shall appear in a public instrument and shall be recorded as provided in Article 77. The creditors of the spouse who made such waiver may petition the court to rescind the waiver to the extent of the amount sufficient to cover the amount of their credits. (146a)
