Bernard v. Bernard

KLIEBERT, Judge.

The husband, Arthur Bernard, Jr., filed a petition against the wife, Karen Faucheaux Bernard, for a separation alleging cruel treatment and constructive abandonment on the part of the wife. The wife answered and incorporated in her answer a recon-ventional demand alleging her husband abandoned her on January 10, 1988, was guilty of cruel treatment and had committed adultery. The trial judge rejected the wife’s charge of abandonment, found the parties mutually at fault, and for those reasons decreed a separation between them. The wife perfected this appeal.

We conclude the trial…
