Wife's Fault in Divorce Proceedings Reversed on Insufficient Explanation of Conduct
Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAIn a divorce proceeding where the husband sought dissolution based on fault, the appellate court rejected some of the proven facts attributed to the wife, reasoning that her regrettable conduct was explained, if not justified, by the husband's own behavior. The highest court quashed this decision because, by merely stating that the wife's proven actions found explanation in the husband's conduct, the appellate court failed to establish that the wife's imputed facts were entirely stripped of any insulting character as required by the relevant Civil Code article concerning fault for divorce, thereby failing to provide a legal basis for its judgment.
