When a couple chooses the conjugal partnership of gains in their marriage settlement, the rules in this Chapter fill in whatever they did not spell out. These rules also govern conjugal partnerships that already existed before this Code took effect, except that rights already vested under the old Civil Code or other laws are preserved.
