Question juridique clé
Whether the appellate court arbitrarily found that family allowances were not made available to the wife before 1 February 2013.
Solution extraite
The challenge failed; the husband did not show arbitrariness in the finding or in the appreciation of evidence.
Motifs extraits
Under the inquisitorial maxims, parties still must collaborate and substantiate their own assertions. The husband did not prove his allegation that he had actually placed the allowances at the wife's disposal, and Art. 170 CC does not shift the burden of proof.
