End of a parental union

A parental union ends

• when one of the spouses dies,
• when the spouses marry or enter into a civil union, or when one of the spouses does so with another person, or
• through separation.

When the parental union ends, the value of the parental union patrimony must be partitioned. The court may also be called upon to rule, for example,

• on child support
• on child custody.
