Abstract

In general, property relations between spouses follow a default matrimonial regime under family law but spouses may sign an agreement to determine their property relations. Consequently, the sources of property relations between spouses are law and contract. Family law in each country has established relevant rules for property relations between spouses, considering the legal system and other relevant factors that result in different rules in each country. The European Family Law Commission has therefore developed the Family Law Principles on Property relations between spouses to demonstrate common ground and an appropriate approach for determining property relations between spouses. Considering the drafting process of Thailand's Civil and Commercial Code, matrimonial regime of Thailand has been influenced by many European countries. The family law principles regarding property relations between spouses of the Commission on European Family Law are therefore an appropriate legal basis for comparison and guideline in determining property relations between spouses in Thailand in the future.
