Question juridique clé
Whether refusing to disjoin property liquidation and immediately decide the divorce amounted to a formal denial of justice
Solution extraite
No. The husband did not show that the conditions for separating liquidation of the marital property regime were met, so the first-instance court could await the expert report.
Motifs extraits
Although divorce proceedings should normally be decided with all accessory effects, a separate liquidation is only admissible if the other accessory effects do not depend on it. Because maintenance under Art. 125 CC depends in principle on the spouses' assets, which are clarified only after liquidation, the court was entitled to keep the issues joined.
