Florida Court Nixes Spousal Support Duty In Doctrines Case
Florida Supreme Court struck down the 100 year old doctrine of necessaries that made husbands pay wives housing, food, clothing and medical bills. The ruling follows conflicting decisions from hospitals pursuing unpaid bills and blocks wives from assuming husbands debts. The doctrine began in 1895 when wives could not own property or contract. The decision ends this century old financial obligation and clarifies marital liability.
