Question juridique clé
Whether a divorce settlement under Art. 111 ZGB can be withdrawn before the judicial hearing and confirmation period ends.
Solution extraite
Yes. In a joint-divorce procedure, either spouse may withdraw consent to the divorce settlement before the judicial confirmation; the agreement is not yet finally binding.
Motifs extraits
The confirmation period under Art. 111(2) ZGB is mandatory and cannot be shortened or waived. Since withdrawal remains possible during the period, it must also be possible before the hearing. The settlement becomes binding only upon judicial approval in this setting.
