Since the implementation of the Civil Code, the efforts of many housewives have been recognized, so that "domestic work compensation" has a legal basis. In the past, domestic work that was not approved by the husband finally had a legal basis.
The demand for financial compensation by the more paying party in the family is not only applicable to the "full-time wife" of the woman, but also to the "family cook".
Recently, the People's Court of Jilin Province and Long city pronounced a judgment on a case in which a "family cook" applied for compensation for housework.
Li Lei and Wang Li stepped into the palace of marriage because of love, after marriage, the two had a son and a daughter, the original sweet married life was troubled by family trivia, the contradiction between the two was stimulated, in 2012, Wang Li went out to work, the two were in a state of separation.
After that, the two children lived with Li Lei, and Wang Li took less care of her children.
In July 2021, Wang Li sued for divorce, and Li Lei believed that as a "family cook", he needed to take care of his children and take care of housework, pay more to the family, and divorce should be financially compensated.
After trial by the court, it was held that Wang Li and Li Lei had discord between the husband and wife due to trivial matters in family life, and mediation was ineffective, and the two were allowed to divorce. During the marriage period, because Li Lei paid more obligations to raise children and take care of the family, Wang Li should make appropriate compensation.
According to Article 1088 of the Civil Code, if one of the spouses bears more obligations due to raising children, caring for the elderly, assisting the other party in his work, etc., he has the right to request compensation from the other party at the time of divorce, and the other party shall give compensation. The specific measures shall be agreed upon by both parties; if the agreement fails, the people's court shall make a judgment.
Based on the local living standards and Wang Li's economic income, the court finally ordered Wang Li to pay Li Lei compensation of 15,000 yuan.
Whether it is a "stay-at-home wife" or a "cook-in-law", the party who gives more in the marriage is entitled to claim financial compensation. However, when it comes to housework compensation, in addition to the women's contributions in marriage that we often discuss, the amount of compensation is also a topic of concern to everyone.
Why are there 15,000 cases of housework compensation, some 50,000, and some hundred thousand. What exactly is the standard for compensation for domestic work?
On February 22, 2021, the Beijing Fangshan Court concluded a divorce housework compensation case, and the man paid the woman 50,000 yuan in housework compensation.
On April 26, 2021, the Beibei District People's Court of Chongqing Municipality concluded a divorce case of housework compensation, and the man paid the woman 120,000 housework compensation.
Many people believe that paying for the family for so many years, the result of compensation is obviously not equal to paying, but in married life, if you measure the payment of housework according to the market price, it is actually very difficult, and there are some housework, there may not be a corresponding market-oriented price, the court needs to consider the length of marriage, the intensity of housework, and the family's income standards when considering the standard of housework compensation.
In the case of Li Lei and Wang Li, the men's efforts in the family have also made affirmations, in fact, whether it is a "full-time wife" or a "family cook", as long as they bear more family obligations, such as raising children, taking care of the elderly, taking care of housework, etc., they have the right to apply for housework compensation, but it is worth noting that economic compensation must be proposed at the time of divorce, and it is not acceptable to file it after divorce.
