Rosenthal v. Rosenthal

Consolidated cross-appeals from an interlocutory judgment of divorce and related orders.

Ruth and Jerome Rosenthal were married in 1943 and separated in 1959. The wife brought suit for divorce on the ground of extreme cruelty, and the husband cross-complained on the same ground. The trial court granted both parties a divorce, determined the extent of the community assets and liabilities, and appointed a receiver to liquidate the community property, pay the community debts, and divide the proceeds. Both parties appeal. (See Rosenthal v. Rosenthal, 197 Cal.App.2d 289 [17 Cal.Rptr. 186].)
