Peterson v. Peterson

Opinion of the Court by

Judge Carroll

Reversing.

The appellant, who is the wife of the appellee, brought .this suit against him in Logan County in May, 1913, asking for a divorce and alimony, and also that she be given the custody of their infant child. The appellee^ although summoned in Logan County, did not enter his appearance or make any defense. The lower court, on hearing the case, dismissed the petition, apparently for the reason that the evidence did not show that the appellant had been an actual resident of the State for more than one year before the institution of the action.
