Art. 86. - The spouse who, in defiance to an opposition, interferes in the management of the other's property, is responsible for all the resultant damages. Art. 87. - The joint property regime is dissolved by: 1. the death or the final declaration of absence or death in the event of the disappearance of one of the spouses; 2. divorce or legal separation; 3. the annulment of the marriage; 4. the change of the joint property regime to a separation of property regime.
