Thus, the question of cohabitation, although not recognized in Democratic Republic of Congo, especially presents several legal difficulties in term of the split-up or separation, of the expenditure incurred and the inheritance management. This is the reflexion route which will propose as best as possible a contribution referring to the doctrines and the compared rights (French, Swiss and German right). In addition, we will also include/understand why the Congolese right takes as a starting point the European right but does not copy the whole, because, the legislator wants to preserve the traditional design of the family..........
