Art. 67. The civil effects of suits and decrees concerning annullment of marriage and divorce can only be obtained before the ordinary tribunals.

Art. 68. After the suits referred to in the proced-ing article have been instituted and admitted, the following measures shall be adopted during the pendency thereof:

1. The separation of the spouses in every case.

2. The protection of the wife in the cases and in the manner prescribed by the law of civil procedure.

3. The placing of the children under the care of one or both of the spouses as may be proper.

4. The provision for the support of the wife and of the children who do not remain under the authority of the father.

5. The adoption of the necessary measures to prevent the husband, who may have given cause for the divorce, or against whom the suit for annulment of the marriage has been instituted, from injuring the wife in the administration of her property.

Art. 69. A marriage contracted in good faith produces civil effects, although it may be declared void.

If good faith existed on the part of only one of the spouses it shall produce civil effects only with regard to said spouse and to the children.

Good faith is presumed if the contrary does not appear.

When bad faith existed on the part of both spouses, the marriage shall only produce civil effects with relation to the children.

Art. 70. After the annulment of a marriage has been finally decreed, the sons over three years of age shall remain under the care of the father, and the daughters under the care of the mother, if there should have been good faith on the part of both spouses.

If good faith existed on the part of one of the spouses only, the children of both sexes shall remain under the authority and care of said spouse.

If both were guilty of bad faith, the tribunal shall decide as to the disposition of the children in the manner prescribed in the second paragraph of No. 2 of Article 73.

The sons and daughters, under three years of age, shall in all cases remain under the charge of the mother, until they attain this age, unless on account of special reasons the decree has ordered otherwise.

Art. 71. The provisions of the first and second paragraphs of the preceding article shall not be made use of if the parents, by common consent, shall provide otherwise for the care of the children.

Art. 72. The final decree of annulment shall produce, with regard to the property of the marriage, the same effects as a dissolution by death; but the spouse who has acted in bad faith shall have no rights to the profits of the conjugal partnership.

When both have acted in bad faith, one shall be set off by the other.

Art. 73. A decree of divorce shall produce the following effects:

1. The separation of the spouses.

2. The children to remain or be placed under the authority and protection of the innocent spouse.

When both are guilty, a guardian shall be provided for the children in accordance with the provisions of this code, and if the decree has not provided otherwise, the mother in every case shall have the children under three years of age in her charge.

Upon the death of the innocent spouse, the guilty one shall recover the parental authority and his or her rights, when the cause which gave rise to the divorce should have been adultery, violence to the person, or grave insult. When the cause is different, a guardian shall be appointed for the children. The deprivation of the parental authority and of its rights does not exempt the guilty spouse from the fulfillment of the obligations which this code imposes upon him or her with regard to the children.

3. The guilty spouse shall lose all that may have been given or promised him or her by the innocent one or by any other person in consideration for the latter; and the innocent spouse shall keep all that he or she has received from the guilty one, being permitted, besides, to claim forthwith all that may have been promised by the same.

4. The separation of the property of the conjugal partnership, and the loss of the administration of that of the wife, if the husband should have it, and is the one who gave cause for the divorce.

5. The retention by the innocent husband of the administration, if he should have it, of the property of the wife, who shall only be entitled to support:

Art. 74. Reconciliation terminates the suit for divorce and leaves the decree issued in regard thereto without subsequent effects; but the spouses must give notice thereof to the tribunal which has or may have taken cognizance of the suit.

The effects of the decree shall be enforced with regard to the children, without prejudice to the provisions of the foregoing article, when it is founded on the attempt or connivance of the husband or of the wife to corrupt their sons or to prostitute their daughters, in which case, if either still continue under the parental authority, the tribunals shall adopt the proper measures in order to protect them from corruption or prostitution.
