Gorvin v. Stegmann

Gorvin, the plaintiff, and Donald F. Stegmann, the defendant, were married in New York in 1947 and divorced in Georgia in 1953. The Georgia divorce decree called for support or alimony payments of $200 per month which the plaintiff now seeks to enforce under the Uniform Enforcement of Foreign Judgments Act, RCW 6.36.
