| In like manner, the word "shall" in Article 213 of the Family Code and Section 6[42] of Rule 99 of the Rules of Court has been held to connote a mandatory character.[43] Article 213 and Rule 99 similarly contemplate a situation in which the parents of the minor are married to each other, but are separated by virtue of either a decree of legal separation or a de facto separation.[44] In the present case, the parents are living separately as a matter of fact. | |||||
