DESCRIPTION

Randall v. Randall

TRANSCRIPT

Randall v. Randall (Marital Relation and Assault)Husband brutally kicked, choked and otherwise assaulted the wife.

Court held that a wife continuing to live in the same house as the husband but in separate quarters is still entitled for maintenance and support

Several cases in which separate maintenance was refused the wife, where the husband and wife were living in the same house.

Indispensable requirements that the wife should be living separate and apart from her husband without her fault and therefore a wife living in the same house with her husband, occupying a different room and eating at a different time was not entitled to separate maintenance.

Marital relation has continued for 33 years and the wife has been supported in the same manner without and complaint on her part. The parties have not been separated or living apart. Action for support and maintenance parties must be separated or living apart from each other

Living standards of a family are a matter pf concern to the household and not for the courts to determine. As long as the home is maintained and the parties are living as husband and wife it may be said that the husband is legally supporting his wife and the purpose of the marriage relation is being carried out.
