Does a wife always receive the husband's property after divorce?

Family Law

No. The Civil Code does not say that a wife automatically receives all or half of her husband's property in every divorce.

Section 99 links partition rights to particular circumstances and also contains exceptions. The facts and statutory ground for divorce must therefore be examined before stating what property a spouse will receive.
