Household objects

(1) Each spouse may demand that, on the occasion of the divorce, the other spouse make available to them the jointly-owned household objects and make them the owner if they depend to a greater degree than the other spouse on using them, taking into consideration the best interests of the children living in the household and of the circumstances of the spouses, or if this is equitable for other reasons.

(2) Household objects which were acquired during the marriage for the joint household for purposes of distribution are deemed joint assets of the spouses unless the sole ownership of the spouse is established.

(3) The spouse who assigns their ownership pursuant to subsection (1) may demand a suitable compensation payment.
