Pilson v. Guillery

Plaintiff brought an action on certain promissory notes against the makers Leo Guillery and Bertha Guillery. When they signed the notes the defendants were husband and wife. Later, when suit was filed they had been divorced. Bertha Guillery defended by claiming the benefit of the provision of Article XI, section 1, of the Constitution of Florida, F.S.A., which renders the separate property of a married woman unavailable for application on the debts of her husband “without her consent given by some instrument in writing executed according to the law respecting conveyances by married women”…
