My husband was sued, but they seized a property that was already mine. Will I lose the property?

If the couple's property regime is universal communion, i.e. one in which all assets, including those prior to the marriage, are considered to belong to both spouses, assets can be seized in the name of the spouse, even if he or she did not take part in the legal proceedings in which the other debtor spouse participated.



In this case, the seizure should only reach 50% of the property, since this half is considered to belong to the debtor spouse.
