Lacey v. Lacey

STEWART, Presiding Judge.

Raymond Leonard Lacey, Jr. (husband) filed for dissolution of marriage. Mary Margaret Lacey (wife) filed an answer and cross-claim for dissolution and a counterclaim for damages for injuries suffered by reason of an assault upon her by husband.

The counterclaim for the intentional tort was dismissed and a decree of dissolution was entered. Wife has appealed.

She complains only of the dismissal of her counterclaim.

We have been favored with a brief by wife and a brief filed on behalf of wife by amici curiae. The respondent did not file a brief.

The issues can be summarized…
