Page 63 - Important Provisions of The New Civil Code

Article 73. Either spouse may exercise any

legitimate profession, occupation, business or

activity without the consent of the other. The

latter may object only on valid, serious, and

moral grounds.

In case of disagreement, the court shall decide

whether or not:

( 1) The objection is proper; and

( 2) Benefit has occurred to the family prior to

the objection or thereafter. If the benefit

accrued prior to the objection, the resulting

obligation shall be enforced against the

separate property of the spouse who has not

obtained consent.

The foregoing provisions shall not prejudice

the rights of creditors who acted in good faith.
