Article 1079 of the French Code of civil procedure

The compensatory allowance may not be provisionally enforced.

However, it may be provisionally enforced in whole or in part, where failure to enforce would have manifestly excessive consequences for the creditor in the event of an appeal against the compensatory allowance when the divorce decree has acquired the force of res judicata.

Such provisional enforcement takes effect only on the day when the divorce decree acquires the force of res judicata.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 1079

La prestation compensatoire ne peut être assortie de l’exécution provisoire.

Toutefois, elle peut l’être en tout ou partie, lorsque l’absence d’exécution aurait des conséquences manifestement excessives pour le créancier en cas de recours sur la prestation compensatoire alors que le prononcé du divorce a acquis force de chose jugée.

Cette exécution provisoire ne prend effet qu’au jour où le prononcé du divorce a acquis force de chose jugée.
