## Resource

Unmarried partners (concubins) lack a formal legal framework for asset division, leaving them as legal strangers to one another. This episode explains how to prove ownership and navigate the division of property, housing, and shared finances during a separation.

## Highlights
- Main idea: In a concubinage, there is no automatic community of property; each partner legally retains what they can prove belongs to them
- Practical takeaway: Use property titles, invoices, or bank statements to overturn the presumption of joint ownership for specific assets
- Failure mode: Relying on verbal agreements without documentation can lead to losing half of shared assets like furniture or bank balances
- Legal risk: Staying in a shared home alone after separation may trigger an 'indemnity of occupation' (essentially rent) owed to your ex-partner
- Protection mechanism: A partner who worked for free in the other's business can claim compensation for 'unjust enrichment' (enrichissement sans cause)
