Abstract
The division of communal households was considered „the greatest and the most important structural change“ that marked the Croatian society in the second half of the 19th century. The problem of the division was two-fold and appeared as a result of doubts whether to enable the division of households and, if so, according to which criteria it should be done. Due to the accepted policy of removing household from the legal system, as a relic of the past, all communal household laws (1870, 1874, 1889) accepted the division, i.e. the per linea division. As a result of the analysis of the legal framework, published judicial and administrative practice and various discussions, we believe that, despite constant objections, the adoption of the per linea division is the result of the convergence of the communal household legislation to the General Civil Code and the legal system based on the GCC, whose development started in Croatia and Slavonia after its introduction.
