The court dismissed the action for food support filed by a party claiming de facto separation. The plaintiff argued that the separation was not their fault, but the opposing party contended otherwise. The court ruled that since the lack of imputability to the plaintiff is a constitutive fact of the claimed right, the burden of proof lies with the petitioner, which was not met.
