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.
