Article 1100 of the French Code of civil procedure

If the agreement appears to him or her to insufficiently safeguard the interests of the children or of one of the spouses, the judge may refuse to homologate it, not grant the divorce and adjourn his or her decision, by order made forthwith, until a new agreement is submitted.

The judge informs the spouses that they must submit a new agreement within six months. The order shall mention this information and its content.

The order specifies the conditions or guarantees to which the homologation of the new agreement and, consequently, the pronouncement of the divorce will be subject.

It includes, where applicable, the provisional measures approved by the judge pursuant to article 250-2 of the Civil Code.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 1100

Si la convention lui paraît préserver insuffisamment les intérêts des enfants ou de l’un des époux, le juge peut refuser de l’homologuer, ne pas prononcer le divorce et ajourner sa décision, par ordonnance rendue sur-le-champ, jusqu’à présentation d’une nouvelle convention.

Il informe les époux qu’ils devront présenter une nouvelle convention avant l’expiration d’un délai de six mois. L’ordonnance fait mention de cette information et de son contenu.

L’ordonnance précise les conditions ou garanties auxquelles seront subordonnés l’homologation de la nouvelle convention et, en conséquence, le prononcé du divorce.

Elle comprend, le cas échéant, les mesures provisoires homologuées par le juge en application de l’article 250-2 du code civil.
