Title IV — Property Relations Between Husband and Wife
Article 100
ELI5— what this means for you
When one spouse leaves the other without just cause (abandonment), the abandoned spouse may file for receivership of the community property, judicial separation of property, or authority to be the sole administrator of the community property.
Official text — EO 209
The separation in fact between husband and wife shall not affect the regime of absolute community except that:
(1) The spouse who leaves the conjugal home or refuses to live therein, without just cause, shall not have the right to be supported;
(2) When the consent of one spouse to any transaction of the other is required by law, judicial authorization shall be obtained in a summary proceeding;
(3) In the absence of sufficient community property, the separate property of both spouses shall be solidarily liable for the support of the family. The spouse present shall, upon proper petition in a summary proceeding, be given judicial authority to administer or encumber any specific separate property of the other spouse and use the fruits or proceeds thereof to satisfy the latter's share. (178a)
