Compensatory allowance

Responsibility : Ministère de la Justice

If, during your marriage or civil union, you contributed, in property or services (business, land, etc.) to the enrichment of your spouse’s patrimony, you can ask the court for a compensatory allowance. Depending on your situation, the allowance may be paid in the form of money or property.
