Arceneaux v. Arceneaux

HAMLIN, Justice ad hoc.

On September 12, 1956, Eddie Arceneaux filed suit against his wife, Margaret Stutes Arceneaux, for a divorce “a vinculo matrimonii”, on the ground of adultery. Mrs. Arceneaux did not file an answer.

A preliminary default taken by the plaintiff was confirmed on October 10, 1956, and judgment granting plaintiff an absolute divorce from his wife was rendered and signed on said date.

Plaintiff alleged in his petition that no children were born of the marriage, and that no community property was acquired; hence, there was no settlement of any community property.
