Article 267 of the French Civil Code

Failing a conventional settlement by the spouses, the judge shall rule on their applications to remain in joint ownership, for preferential allotment and for an advance on a share of the community or undivided property.

He shall rule on applications for the liquidation and division of property interests, under the conditions laid down in Articles 1361 to 1378 of the Code of Civil Procedure, if it is justified by any means of the disagreements remaining between the parties, in particular by producing:

-a joint declaration of acceptance of a judicial partition, indicating the points of disagreement between the spouses;

-the draft drawn up by the notary appointed on the basis of 10° of Article 255.

He may, even of his own motion, rule on the determination of the matrimonial property regime applicable to the spouses.

Il statue sur les demandes de liquidation et de partage des intérêts patrimoniaux, dans les conditions fixées aux articles 1361 à 1378 du code de procédure civile, s’il est justifié par tous moyens des désaccords subsistant entre les parties, notamment en produisant :

-une déclaration commune d’acceptation d’un partage judiciaire, indiquant les points de désaccord entre les époux ;

-le projet établi par le notaire désigné sur le fondement du 10° de l’article 255.

Il peut, même d’office, statuer sur la détermination du régime matrimonial applicable aux époux.
