I posted last year about the separation of Philip Bourguignon and Maria Tomasa Gonzales. However, I didn't have a full translation. By the miracle of ChatGPT, I was able to transcribe and translate the court documents that plaintiff Philip Bourguignon requested and received custodianship of his children "Margarita, Felipe, Andrea, Eduardo, Trinidad, Jesús, and Luis Bourguignon, all of whom are minors due to their age and otherwise under legal age." He received custody of his children on 22 February 1872.
It does not appear that the couple was formally divorced, and in fact they got back together. Philip and Tomasa had five children after this separation: Pabla, Elisa, Charles, Federico, and my great-grandmother Carolina.
There is no indication why they separated and why Philip requested custody of his own children.
