409. In the event of separation from bed and board, divorce or nullity of a marriage, the court may, upon the application of either spouse, award to the spouse of the lessee the lease of the family residence.
The award binds the lessor upon being notified to him and relieves the original lessee of the rights and obligations arising out of the lease from that time forward.
