521.13. The spouses may consent, by way of a joint declaration, to the dissolution of the civil union provided they settle all the consequences of the dissolution in an agreement.
The declaration and the agreement must be executed before a notary and recorded in notarial acts en minute.
The notary may not execute the declaration before the agreement is recorded in a notarial transaction contract. The notary must inform the spouses beforehand of the consequences of the dissolution and make sure that they truly consent to the dissolution and that the agreement is not contrary to imperative provisions of law or public order. If he considers it appropriate, the notary may inform the spouses of services of which he is aware that are likely to foster their conciliation.
