521.17. In the absence of a joint declaration dissolving the civil union executed before a notary or where the interests of the common children of the spouses are at stake, the dissolution of the union must be pronounced by the court.
The court must ascertain that the spouses’ will to share a community of life is irretrievably undermined, foster conciliation and see to the interests of the children and the respect of their rights. During the proceeding, the court may determine provisional measures, as in the case of separation from bed and board.
Upon or after pronouncing the dissolution, the court may order one of the spouses to pay support to the other and decide as to the custody, maintenance and education of the children, in their interest and the respect of their rights, taking into account, where appropriate, any agreements made between the spouses.
