Compensatory allowance

Responsibility : Ministère de la Justice

If, during your 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. The court may award you an amount of money or property to compensate for your contribution during the civil union.
