Legal Tings

Can a wedding gift like a Hongbao be considered part of marital property in a divorce? How does the court determine ownership of gifts received during marriage? Does the value of the gift play a role in the court's decision? How can couples protect themselves from such disputes in the future?

In this episode, Jonathan talks about the complexities of divorces, specifically when dividing assets and property. He goes into further details with a case study, based off the question: Can a spouse claim a share of a matrimonial home primarily owned by in-laws?
