civil action.

statute or rule of law prohibiting the disclosure of confidential
communications between spouses apply, and both spouses are competent witnesses
to testify against each other to any and all relevant matters, including the
fact of the marriage and the parentage of any child or children, but neither
may be compelled to give evidence incriminating himself or herself.
3. Proof of the failure of the defendant
to provide for the support of the spouse, child or children, is prima facie
evidence that such failure was knowing.
