Title IV — Property Relations Between Husband and Wife
Article 142
ELI5— what this means for you
Even after judicial separation of property, both spouses must still contribute to the household in proportion to their income. The duty to support the family does not disappear.
Official text — EO 209
The administration of all classes of exclusive property of either spouse may be transferred by the court to the other spouse:
(1) When one spouse becomes the guardian of the other;
(2) When one spouse is judicially declared an absentee;
(3) When one spouse is sentenced to a penalty which carries with it civil interdiction; or
(4) When one spouse becomes a fugitive from justice or is in hiding as an accused in a criminal case.
If the other spouse is not qualified by reason of incompetence, conflict of interest, or any other just cause, the court shall appoint a suitable person to be the administrator. (n)
