Commonwealth Ex Rel. Powelson v. Powelson

Superior Court of Pennsylvania

Decided April 25, 1980No. 87PublishedCited by 7 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

STRANAHAN, Judge:

This is a support case in which the husband and wife have chosen to remain in the home together. However, this decision has not lessened their controversy, instead it has made it more bitter because each accuses the other of doing petty things of an annoying nature.

The husband accuses the wife of “going on strike” as far as her household duties are concerned. The wife retaliates by claiming a “lock out” as far as her husband’s willingness to provide her with food and other necessaries. The testimony concerning the controversies is lengthy but need not be reviewed in detail…
