The purpose of this stage is to <strong>close the matrimonial property regime<\/strong> (community, separation of property, participation aux acqu\u00eats, etc.) and to allocate to each spouse what is rightfully theirs. <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When does it take effect after the divorce decree?<\/h3>\n\n<p>Settlement takes place <strong>after the divorce is finalized<\/strong>, once the spouses have legally separated.
