IV. Equitable division in the case of invalidity pensions after statutory retirement age and in the case of retirement pensions

1 If, at the point at which divorce proceedings commence, a spouse is drawing an invalidity pension after the statutory retirement age or drawing a retirement pension, the court decides at its own discretion how the pension is to be divided.

1.
the actuarial conversion of the share of the pension into a life-long pension;
2.

1.
in view of the division of marital property or the economic circumstances following divorce;
2.
in view of the pension requirements, in particular with regard to the difference in age between the spouses.

3 The court may award the entitled spouse more than half of the termination benefits if he or she cares for joint children following the divorce and the liable spouse continues to have sufficient retirement and invalidity pension assets.

1.
has grossly neglected his or her duty to contribute to the maintenance of the family;
2.
has wilfully brought about his or her own indigence;
3.
has committed a serious criminal offence against the other spouse or a person close to him or her.

1 In the event of a substantial and enduring change in circumstances, the periodic maintenance payments may be reduced, cancelled or suspended for a certain time; an improvement in the circumstances of the party entitled to maintenance may be taken into account only if the payments stipulated in the divorce decree provided sufficient maintenance.

2 The party entitled to maintenance may request that the payments be adjusted in line with future inflation if the income of the other party has increased unexpectedly since the divorce.

3 Within five years of the divorce, the party entitled to maintenance may request that payments be ordered or increased provided the divorce decree states that it was not possible at that time to order sufficient maintenance payments and provided the economic circumstances of the party obliged to pay maintenance have since improved.

Art. 130 E. Post-marital maintenance / III. Regular payments / 4. Expiry by law

4. Expiry by law

1 The duty to pay maintenance expires on the death of either the receiving party or the paying party.

are prepared to accept joint responsibility for the child; and
2.
have agreed on residence and contact or on the sharing of parenting duties and on the child maintenance contribution for the child.

1 Co-ownership exists where several persons own a share in an object which is physically undivided.

2 Unless otherwise stipulated, they are co-owners in equal measure.

3 Each co-owner has the rights and obligations of ownership in respect of his or her share in the object, and said share may be alienated and pledged by him or her, or distrained by his or her creditors.

2. Use and administration rules

1 The co-owners may agree rules on use and administration that deviate from the statutory provisions and provide therein that the rules may be amended with the consent of the majority of all co-owners.2

1bis Any amendment to the provisions of the use and administration rules on the allocation of exclusive rights of use also requires the consent of the co-owners who are directly affected.3

2 Such rules cannot annul or restrict the rights of each co-owner:

1.
to request such measures as are necessary to preserve the object’s value and serviceability and, where required, to have these ordered by a court;
2.
to take, on his or her own initiative and at the expense of all co-owners, such measures as are urgently needed to safeguard the object against imminent or incremental damage.

a. Ownership

1 Where a person uses materials belonging to another in building work on his or her own land or materials of his or her own on land belonging to another, such materials become an integral part of the parcel of land.

2 However, where such materials are used against the will of their owner, the latter is entitled to demand that the materials be removed and returned to him or her at the landowner’s expense to the extent this is possible without causing disproportionate damage.

Art. 674 A. Substance / III. Buildings on the parcel of land / 2. Encroaching buildings

2. Encroaching buildings

1 Buildings and other structures encroaching from one parcel of land onto another remain part of the parcel from which they originate, providing their owner has a right in rem to their existence.

2 The right to encroach on neighbouring land may be recorded as an easement in the land register.

3 If an injured party fails to object in timely manner to an unauthorised encroachment, despite being aware of it, where justified in the circumstances the builder of the encroaching structure, provided he or she acted in good faith, may be granted ownership of the encroaching part thereof or of the land below it in exchange for appropriate compensation.

Art. 675 A. Substance / III. Buildings on the parcel of land / 3. Building right

3. Building right

1 Buildings and other structures that are dug into or built onto land belonging to another person or otherwise permanently connected with that parcel of land on or below its surface may have a separate owner provided their existence is recorded as an easement in the land register.

  Chapter Three:1  Condominium

Art. 712a A. Definition and object / I. Definition

A. Definition and object

I. Definition

1 Condominium is a form of co-ownership of immovable property that gives the co-owner the exclusive right to make sole use of specific parts of a building thereon and design the interior of such parts.

2 Each condominium owner is free to manage, use and design the structure of his or her own parts of the building as he or she wishes but must not obstruct any other condominium owners in the exercise of their own rights or in any way damage the common parts of the building, fittings and installations or impair their functional effectiveness or appearance.

3 Each condominium owner is obliged to maintain his or her parts of the building in the manner required to preserve the sound condition and good appearance of the building as a whole.

Art. 712b A. Definition and object / II. Object

II. Object

1 The object of the exclusive right may be individual storeys or parts of a storey which must be self-contained with their own access and used either as dwellings or as self-contained units of rooms used for business or other purposes, although separate ancillary rooms are allowed.

2 The condominium owner may not be granted an exclusive right to the following:

1.
the land on which the building stands and the building right by virtue of which it is constructed;
2.
the parts of the building that are vital to the soundness, structure and stability of the building as a whole or of the units of other condominium owners or that determine the outward form and appearance of the building;
3.
the fittings and installations that also serve the other condominium owners in the use of their units.

3 The deed of constitution or a subsequent agreement among the condominium owners executed in the same form may stipulate that other parts of the building are common property, failing which they are presumed to be the object of a exclusive right.

Art. 712c A. Definition and object / III. Power of disposal

III. Power of disposal

1 Condominium owners do not by law have first right of refusal in respect of a third party acquiring a share, but such right may be stipulated in the deed of constitution or by subsequent agreement and entered under priority notice in the land register.

2 Similarly, it may be stipulated that the alienation, encumbrance with usufruct or right of residence or letting of a unit is valid only if the other co-owners do not object by resolution made within 14 days of receiving notice of such transaction.

3 The objection is ineffective if made without good cause.1

B. Creation and extinction

I. Deed of constitution

1 Condominium is constituted by entry in the land register.

2 Such entry may be requested:

1.
on the basis of an agreement between the condominium owners to constitute their shares as condominium;
2.
on the basis of a declaration by the owner of the property or the holder of a distinct and permanent building right to form shares in co-ownership and to constitute the same as condominium.

3 In order to be valid, the constitution of condominium must be executed in the form of a public deed or, where provided for in a testamentary disposition or in a contract of division of estate, in the form prescribed by the law of succession.

Art. 712e B. Creation and extinction / II. Layout of the condominium units and shares in the property

II. Layout of the condominium units and shares in the property1

1 The deed of constitution must specify the manner in which the property is divided into condominium units and define the share that each unit represents of the value of the property or of the building right expressed as fractions with a common denominator.2

2 Alteration of the size of a share requires the consent of all directly involved parties and the approval of the assembly of condominium owners; however, each condominium owner is entitled to seek rectification if his or her share has been defined incorrectly in error or is no longer accurate owing to structural modifications to the building or its surroundings.

Art. 712f B. Creation and extinction / III. Extinction

III. Extinction

1 Condominium is extinguished on the loss of the property or the building right and its deletion from the land register.

2 Such deletion may be requested in accordance with a termination agreement or by a single condominium owner holding all the shares, but it requires the consent of all persons with rights in rem to the individual units which cannot be transferred to the property as a whole without detriment.

3 Any condominium owner may request termination of the condominium where:

1.
more than half the value of the building has been destroyed and reconstruction would impose an onerous burden on him; or
2.
the building has been divided into condominium units for more than 50 years and can no longer be used in accordance with the regulations due to its poor structural condition.1

4 Condominium owners wishing to maintain the condominium may prevent such termination by buying out the others.2
