第千二十九条(審判による配偶者居住権の取得)

The family court that has received a request for division of the estate may determine that the spouse is to acquire the spouse's right of residence only in the following cases:

遺産の分割の請求を受けた家庭裁判所は、次に掲げる場合に限り、配偶者が配偶者居住権を取得する旨を定めることができる。

if an agreement has been reached among the coheirs that the spouse is to acquire the spouse's right of residence;

共同相続人間に配偶者が配偶者居住権を取得することについて合意が成立しているとき。

if the spouse has informed the family court of a wish to acquire the spouse's right of residence and the court finds that, even taking into account the degree of detriment to be suffered by the owner of the building of residence, it is particularly necessary in order to maintain the spouse's livelihood (excluding the case set forth in the preceding item).

配偶者が家庭裁判所に対して配偶者居住権の取得を希望する旨を申し出た場合において、居住建物の所有者の受ける不利益の程度を考慮してもなお配偶者の生活を維持するために特に必要があると認めるとき(前号に掲げる場合を除く。)。
