Powers v. Powers
Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York
Appeal by the defendant, Hortense Powers, from an order of the Supreme Court, made at the Kings County Special Term and entered in the office of the clerk of the county of Kings on the 20th day of July, 1914, denying the defendant’s motion for a modification of the final decree of divorce herein by granting her leave to see the children of the marriage.
1Opinion of the Court
Stapleton, J.:
The appellant and the respondent were divorced by a judgment entered June 7, 1906. Of the marriage then dissolved there were two children, a boy and a girl. The girl is now aged fifteen and the boy thirteen. Two years after the judg*534ment the appellant remarried. The man whom she married was in no way connected with the dereliction involved in the action for a divorce, and since her remarriage she has led a blameless life. By a provision of the judgment she is precluded from seeing her children, and she applied for its modification so that she may be permitted to see them.
