Q. Ang asawa ko ay mayroong lupa na naka pangalan sa kanya ung titulo na kanyang nabili noong dalaga pa siya. Ang nasabing property ay nabenta ng asawa ko without my consent. Hindi rin ako binigyan ng share ng sales proceed dahil sa kanya lang daw ung lupa dahil nabili niya ito noong sya a dalaga pa noon. Ang tanong ko po, di ba entitled ako sa share ng property at ang pinagbilhan nito dahil ito ay kasama sa aming conjugal property?
ANS: Depende yan kung kailan kayo kinasal. Kung kayo ay kinasal at the time na HINDI PA effective ang Family Code or before Aug 3, 1988, ang nasabing lupa sa ilalim ng Civil Code, ay considered as paraphernal property ng inyong asawa at hindi maituturing na conjugal property, kaya maari niya itong ibenta ng walang marital consent at magkaroon ka ng parte sa pinag bentahan nito.
However, kung kayo ay kinasal na effective ng ung Family Code, at WALA kayong pre-nuptial or marriage settlement na pinirmahan bago kayo kinasal na hindi kasama sa inyong conjugal or absolute community property ung inyong mga ari-arian na napundar bago kayo kinasal, ang nasabing property sa ilalim ng Family Code, as amended, ay kasama or maging bahagi ng inyong absolute community property, at kakailanganin ang marital consent sa pag benta nito ay hati din kayo sa pinabilhan nito sang ayon sa Art. 91 ng Family Code, as amended, maliban na lang na kung bago kayo kinasal ay mayroong siyang ng legitimate na anak during the first marriage. Sa ganitong situation , ang nasabing property ay hindi maaring maisama sa inyong community property, ayon sa Art.91(3) ng Family Code.
