 for which he or she should not be divorced from the other spouse, or that, by virtue of the circumstances, their divorce should not be granted, the court may refuse to grant the divorce.

If the husband and wife divorce by consent, they shall adopt a written agreement as to which of them shall have the custody of which child. If they have not adopted or cannot come to such an agreement, the court shall give a ruling.

If their divorce is effected by a judgment of a court, the winning party shall have the custody, save where the court rules that the other party or a third party shall have the custody.

If it appears that the person having the custody according to section 1520 behaves inappropriately or that the circumstances have later changed, the court has the power to change such person, having chief regard to the peace and benefit of the children.

Although the children are placed in the custody of one spouse, the other spouse has the right to appropriately contact his or her own children, depending upon the circumstances.

If the husband and wife divorce by consent, they shall include in the divorce settlement contract an agreement as to whether both of them or which of them shall pay the costs of maintenance of their children and as to the amount thereof.
