104 THE FAMILY
Section VI
Accessory measures
253 The court, in ordering separation as to bed and board or
divorce, disposes of any accessory applications, particularly
those respecting custody and education of the children,
visiting rights, support due to the spouse, and the contribution
of each consort toward maintenance of the dependent children,
even those of major age.
254 The court may order that the sums granted as support to
the spouse and to the children be paid to the spouse himself or
to a trustee in periodic instalments which may be replaced or
completed by one or more lump sums.
255 The court, on application by a consort who is separated
or divorced, may also decide on similar measures after the
judgment ordering separation or divorce is rendered.
256 The court, in granting a divorce or subsequently, may,
according to the circumstances, declare extinguished the right
of the former consorts to claim support from each other.
257 Except in the case considered in the preceding article,
any provisional or accessory measures ordered by the court
may be reviewed whenever any new fact so justifies.
258 Review may be made notwithstanding appeal.
If the appeal is allowed, the judgment pronouncing
upon the application for review falls, subject to a new
application.
