Article 1580 of the French Civil Code

If the disorder of the affairs of one spouse, his or her poor administration or misconduct, give reason to fear that the continuation of the matrimonial property regime will jeopardise the interests of the other spouse, the latter may request the early liquidation of his or her participation claim.

The rules of separation as to property apply to this request.

When the application is granted, the spouses are placed under the regime of articles 1536 to 1541.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 1580

Si le désordre des affaires d’un époux, sa mauvaise administration ou son inconduite, donnent lieu de craindre que la continuation du régime matrimonial ne compromette les intérêts de l’autre conjoint, celui-ci peut demander la liquidation anticipée de sa créance de participation.

Les règles de la séparation de biens sont applicables à cette demande.

Lorsque la demande est admise, les époux sont placés sous le régime des articles 1536 à 1541.
