What is the effect of an action for legal separation or for annulment of marriage, and for declaration of nullity of marriage upon the obligations of the spouses to support each other and their children?
During the proceedings for legal separation or for annulment of marriage, and for declaration of nullity of marriage, the spouses and their children shall be supported from the properties of the absolute community or the conjugal partnership.
After the final judgment granting the petition, the obligation of mutual support between the spouses ceases.
However, in case of legal separation, the court may order that the guilty spouse shall give support to the innocent one, specifying the terms of such order. (Art. 198, Family Code)
