Article 1088 of the Civil Code stipulates that if one spouse has borne more obligations in raising children, caring for the elderly, or assisting the other spouse in work, they have the right to request compensation from the other spouse upon divorce. The specific method shall be agreed upon by both parties; if an agreement cannot be reached, it shall be decided by the court. This provision is no longer premised on separate property systems, making it easier for judges to provide relief to the party who contributed more to the marriage when community property is limited.
