Conjugal Partners? Absolute Community? Absolute Separation?

I asked a lawyer friend about this and he tells me that in Taiwan, it is officially Conjugal, but effectively Community. What he means is that officially, each spouse keeps 100% ownership of their pre-marriage properties and splits post-wedding property. However, when you begin negotiations for divorce, one side can refuse and effectively block the divorce until the exact property breakdown is agreed upon.

Hence, it is “effectively” an Absolute Community environment.
