The jurisdiction of the court for the division of property after divorce between husband and wife is based on the following provisions: Article 21 of the Civil Procedure Law stipulates that civil actions against citizens shall be under the jurisdiction of the people's court in the place where the defendant is domiciled; If the defendant's domicile is different from his habitual residence, it shall be under the jurisdiction of the people's court in the place of his habitual residence.
A civil action brought against a legal person or other organization shall be under the jurisdiction of the people's court in the place where the defendant has his domicile. If several defendants in the same lawsuit have their domiciles or habitual residences under the jurisdiction of two or more people's courts, each of those people's courts has jurisdiction.
