Article 1225. For the purposes of the
preceding articles, obligations to give definite things and those which
are not susceptible of partial performance shall be deemed to be
indivisible.
When the obligation has for its
object the execution of a certain number of days of work, the
accomplishment of work by metrical units, or analogous things which by
their nature are susceptible of partial performance, it shall be
divisible.
However, even though the object or
service may be physically divisible, an obligation is indivisible if so
provided by law or intended by the parties.
In
obligations not to do, divisibility or indivisibility shall be
determined by the character of the prestation in each particular case.
