The personal private property of the wife and husband are things for individual use, including jewelry, even when they were purchased at the expense of joint funds of the spouses.
The personal private property of the wife or husband is the prizes, awards that she or he received for personal merits.
The court may recognize the second spouse's right to a share of this award, if it is established that he contributed to its receipt by his actions (housekeeping, raising children, etc.).
The personal private property of the wife or husband is the funds received as compensation for the loss (damage) of a thing that belonged to her or him, as well as as compensation for the moral damage caused to her or him.
The personal private property of the wife or husband is the insurance sums received by her or him under the mandatory personal insurance, as well as under voluntary personal insurance, if the insurance premiums were paid at the expense of funds that were the personal private property of each of them.
The court may recognize as the personal private property of the wife or husband the property acquired by her or him during their separate residence in connection with the actual termination of marital relations.
If in addition to joint funds and funds that belonged to one of the spouses were invested in the acquisition of property, then the share in this property, in accordance with the amount of the contribution, is his personal private property.
