Legal Opinion

Cherry v. Cherry

Supreme Court of Georgia

Decided February 12, 1952No. 17714Published

1Opinion of the Court

Duckworth, Chief Justice.

1. The decision of this court on the previous appearance of this case (Cherry v. Cherry, 208 Ga. 213, 65 S. E. 2d, 805), held that the divorce procured by the husband in the Texas court constituted a legal bar to the wife’s recovery in this action for a divorce and alimony for herself. What was ruled as to the wife, in view of the Texas law put in evidence in this case, which made the plea of aliter lis pendens filed by the wife in the Texas court a general appearance, applies equally to the claim of the minors for alimony. Hall v. Hall, 141 Ga. 361 (80 S. E. 992).
