Questão jurídica principal
Whether the husband's spending on his mistress had to be added back to his acquisitions under Art. 208 CC and Art. 209 CC.
Decisão extraída
The court held that the wife lacked a protectable interest because the lower courts had already reunified a sum larger than the amount she challenged; in any event, the lower court's calculation method under Art. 208 CC was incorrect because reunification must concern disposed assets, not gross income minus approved expenses.
Fundamentação extraída
Art. 208 CC serves to reunify the value of assets disposed of by inter vivos liberalities or with intent to prejudice the spouse's participation. It does not authorize a general accounting of income and expenditures, and the spouses are free to use their acquisitions without having to keep reserves.
