Article 128. If a spouse without just cause

abandons the other or fails to comply with his

or her obligation to the family, the aggrieved

spouse may petition the court for receivership,

for judicial separation of property, or for

authority to be the sole administrator of the

conjugal partnership property, subject to such

precautionary conditions as the court may

impose.

The obligations to the family mentioned in the

preceding paragraph refer to marital, parental

or property relations.
