Question juridique clé
Whether the divorce judgment should have been completed rather than modified regarding the duration of the wife’s alimony
Solution extraite
No. The original judgment was not shown to contain a lacuna requiring completion; the later change in case law did not create such a gap.
Motifs extraits
A completion procedure is reserved for omitted issues that had to be decided in the divorce judgment. Here, the question of a time limit was not a manifest omission at the time of the 1980 judgment, and the subsequent jurisprudential shift did not retroactively render it incomplete.
