The Administrative Court dismissed the appeal against the city council's refusal to validate a maintenance agreement between cohabiting spouses. The parties argued the agreement should be confirmed, but the court found no legal necessity since the spouses lived together and the maintenance obligation was not neglected. Consequently, the social board had no duty to validate the contract under the relevant family and social welfare laws.

Sosiaalilautakunnan velvollisuus vahvistaa puolisoiden välillä

tehty elatusapusopimus.

Joensuun kaupungin peruspalvelulautakunta ei ollut vahvistanut

puolisoiden välillä tehtyä elatusapusopimusta, joka oli

tehty toisen puolison laitoshoitoon joutumisen varalta, koska

puolisot asuivat yhdessä eikä elatusvelvollisuutta oltu laiminlyöty.

Hallinto-oikeus katsoi, ettei puolisoilla ollut tässä vaiheessa

oikeussuojan tarvetta saada elatusapusopimustaan vahvistettua,

koska puolisot asuivat yhdessä eikä elatusvelvollisuutta

oltu laiminlyöty, eikä näin ollen sosiaalilautakunnalla

ollut velvollisuutta vahvistaa elatusapusopimusta.
