Adams v. Adams

CHEHARDY, Judge.

Plaintiff, Melba Campbell Adams, filed suit against her husband, Dolvis Eric Adams, for separation from bed and board under C.C. art. 138(5), namely, abandonment without just cause. Defendant denied plaintiff’s allegations and reconvened for a separation asserting he left the matrimonial domicile with just cause in that his wife was guilty of cruel treatment. C.C. art. 138(3). From a judgment granting Mrs. Adams a separation on a finding that her husband abandoned her, which further held that plaintiff herself was not without fault, she has appealed.
