Article 101. If a spouse without just cause

abandons the other or fails to comply with his or

her obligations to the family, the aggrieved

for judicial separation of property or for authority

to be the sole administrator of the absolute

community, subject to such precautionary

conditions as the court may impose.

The obligations to the family mentioned in the
