The spouses shall contribute to the expenses of the marriage in accordance with the agreements contained in their contract; and, if there are none in this respect, in the proportion determined in Article 214.
Both in relation to his or her spouse and to third parties, a spouse may prove by any means that he or she has exclusive ownership of property. Presumptions of ownership set out in the marriage contract have effect in relation to third parties as well as in relations between spouses, unless otherwise agreed. Proof to the contrary shall be by right, and shall be by any means capable of…
If, during the marriage, one of the spouses entrusts the other with the administration of his or her personal property, the rules of mandate apply. The mandating spouse is, however, exempt from rendering an account of the fruits, where the power of attorney does not expressly require him or her to do so.
When one of the spouses takes over the management of the other’s property, with the latter’s knowledge, and nevertheless without opposition on his part, he is deemed to have received a tacit mandate, covering acts of administration and management, but not acts of disposal.
