Hart v. Hart

The question presented on this appeal is whether the evidence shows appellant to be such a resident of Arkansas as will enable him to maintain an action for divorce.

Appellant and appellee were married in 1939 and on March 18, 1953, appellant filed a suit in Hot Spring County for a divorce from appellee. Appellee, a resident of Oklahoma, appeared specially and filed a motion to dismiss appellant’s complaint on the ground that he was not a bona fide resident of Arkansas. After hearing the testimony the chancellor sustained appellee’s motion and dismissed appellant’s complaint, hence this appeal.
