English translation

If the spouse who has the power to manage the marital property:

(1) manages it in a way that causes serious damage;

(2) fails to maintain the other spouse;

(3) is insolvent, or incurs debts exceeding one half of the marital property;

(4) obstructs the other spouse's management of the marital property without reasonable cause; or

(5) behaves in a way that appears likely to bring ruin upon the marital property;

the other spouse may apply to the court for an order permitting them to be the sole manager of the marital property, or for an order separating the marital property.

In a case under paragraph one, if application is made, the court may order such temporary protective measures for the management of the marital property as it thinks fit; and in a case of urgency, the provisions of the Civil Procedure Code on applications in cases of emergency apply.
