Pursuant to the decision of the Supreme Court of June 16, 2016 (V CZ 25/16), the division of the parties’ joint property in a divorce judgment does not result in excessive delay of the proceedings, not only when there is no dispute between the parties as to the composition and method of division of this property. , but also when the clarification of the circumstances disputed between the parties, or circumstances that the court is obliged to determine ex officio, requires conducting evidentiary proceedings within a limited scope in terms of subject matter and time. The decision whether or not to consider a party’s request for the division of joint property in the event that such a division would cause excessive delay in the proceedings is included by the court – depending on the circumstances – either in a separate decision issued in the course of divorce proceedings or in the operative part of the divorce judgment. . It is not subject to a separate appeal.
2. The division of joint property is subject to the optional jurisdiction of the divorce court and former spouses may divide it after the termination of joint property in non-litigious proceedings (Articles 566-567 of the Code of Civil Procedure).
