Maribel Guardia is reportedly seeking over 2 million pesos from her former daughter-in-law, Imelda Tuñón, in a legal dispute stemming from Tuñón’s time living in Guardia’s home. According to legal representatives for Tuñón, the actress is requesting compensation for the period Tuñón resided at the property.
The legal battle between Guardia and Imelda Garza Tuñón has been ongoing for over a year, initially sparked by concerns over the welfare of José Julián, the son of the late Julián Figueroa. The current claim, according to Tuñón’s legal team, is based on calculating the “minimum vital indispensable” – equivalent to 30 days of the current minimum wage – for each month Tuñón lived in Guardia’s home. This ongoing dispute adds another layer to the complex aftermath of Figueroa’s passing and the subsequent legal proceedings surrounding his estate.
The total amount sought as compensation exceeds 2 million pesos, covering the period from Tuñón’s marriage to Figueroa until her departure from the residence. Tuñón’s lawyers argue that the financial claim is unjustified, characterizing it as a family matter of hospitality and support. The origins of the legal dispute trace back to January 2025, when Guardia filed a complaint alleging domestic violence, citing concerns for her grandson’s well-being. Since then, the case has involved multiple accusations and legal actions, including a separate complaint filed by José Manuel Figueroa alleging moral and media-related harm.
Guardia’s legal team believes the request for compensation is unwarranted given the familial context. The case continues to unfold, highlighting the tensions within the Figueroa family as they navigate legal and personal challenges.
