Bouvier's Law Dictionary and Concise Encyclopedia

In Spanish Law. Property held in community. The property of which it is formed belongs in common to the two consorts, and, on the dissolution of the marriage, is divisible between them in equal shares. It is confined to their future acquisitions durante el matrimonio, and the frutos or rents and profits of the other property.

See 1 Burge, Confl. Laws 418; Aso & M. Inst. b. 1, t. 7, c. 5, § 1.

All that which is increased or multiplied during marriage. By multiplied is understood all that is increased by onerous cause or title, and not that which is acquired by a lucrative one; Cutter v. Waddingham, 22 Mo. 254.
