Key legal question
Whether the settlement on the divorce consequences could be ratified on appeal under Art. 140 CC.
Extracted holding
Yes. The statutory conditions for ratification were met; the settlement was approved and substituted for chiffre VII of the divorce judgment.
Extracted reasoning
The court verified that the spouses had concluded the agreement after mature reflection and of their own free will, that it was clear and complete, and that it was not manifestly unfair.
