Family courts have jurisdiction over spousal food support fixation and simple modification requests.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court of Justice unanimously denied the appeal, affirming that family courts possess exclusive competence for requests regarding the fixation and simple alteration of spousal food support. The appellant challenged this jurisdictional allocation, but the court rejected the argument that other tribunals could handle these specific matters. Consequently, the decision stands as the final ruling on the matter of jurisdictional competence.
