In its draft of a new Divorce Act, the Federal Council had proposed a “divorce pension” that would, in principle, have lapsed automatically in the event of the entitled spouse's remarriage; the entitled spouse would, however, have had 6 months to apply to the courts for payment of all or part of the pension to facilitate her/his return to work or care of children.
L'ayant droit aurait cependant eu 6 mois pour demander au tribunal la poursuite, totale ou partielle, du versement d'une rente accordée pour permettre une réinsertion professionnelle ou la garde des enfants.
