SYSTEM OF ABSOLUTE COMMUNITY

Article 89. No waiver of rights, shares and

effects of the absolute community of property

during the marriage can be made except in case

of judicial separation of property.

When the waiver takes place upon a judicial

separation of property, or after the marriage

has been dissolved or annulled, the same shall

appear in a public instrument and shall be

recorded as provided in Article 77. The

creditors of the spouse who made such waiver

may petition the court to rescind the waiver to

the extent of the amount sufficient to cover the

amount of their credits. (146a)
