Propst Faith Pittman v. Ty Lathan Pittman

ON WRIT OF CERTIORARI

KING, Justice,

for the Court:

¶ 1. Propst Pittman filed a complaint for divorce against Ty Pittman on the grounds of habitual cruel and inhuman treatment. After the presentation of Propst’s evidence, Ty moved for a dismissal under Mississippi Rule of Civil Procedure 41. The chancery court found insufficient evidence to grant the divorce, and thus granted the motion to dismiss. Because the chancery court applied an erroneous legal standard, we reverse the judgments of the Panola County Chancery Court and the Court of Appeals and remand the case for further proceedings.
