Proposition de loi modifiant le Code civil en ce qui concerne la cessation unilatérale de la cohabitation légale.

Stage en_commissionUpdated 3mo ago

This is a Belgian private member's bill (proposition de loi) submitted to the Chamber of Representatives. It would amend the Civil Code to change how a legal cohabitation arrangement can be ended by one partner acting alone. Legal cohabitation is a formal status in Belgian law for couples who live together without marrying, and it carries certain legal effects on property and daily life. Based on the title only, the bill concerns the conditions and procedure for unilateral termination. The bill would mainly affect people who have registered a legal cohabitation and are considering ending it, as well as their partners. Notaries, registry offices and courts that handle cohabitation matters could also see changes to their procedures. The exact nature of the changes cannot be determined from the metadata alone.
