Article 621

If two persons have lived together, at least, for five years as if they were married and the relationship has broken down, the Court may, upon request, award to one of the former cohabitees property belonging to the other former cohabitee, provided the value of such property does not represent more than one quarter of the property of such other former cohabitee.

The Court shall make such order as is reasonable in the circumstances.

The Court shall, in particular, take in account whether the property of such other former cohabitee was acquired by common efforts or whether the possibilities of the former cohabitee making the request to acquire his or her own property were diminished because of the relationship.
