Action in the district court for Nicollet county for divorce, the care and custody of the minor child and for alimony. The ease was tried before Olsen, J., who made findings and as conclusions of law found that the decree of divorce entered in the action in the state of Washington was valid; that such decree did not adjudicate the question of plaintiff’s right to alimony and was not a bar to an action to recover alimony out of defendant’s property in Minnesota, and awarded her $1,800 as permanent alimony. From the judgment entered pursuant to the order for judgment, defendant appealed.
1Opinion of the Court
Dibell, C.
The plaintiff and the defendant were married in Nicollet county in 1881. In 1909, while the parties were living in Mahnomen county, the defendant left and went to the state of Washington. In 1913 he obtained a divorce from the plaintiff in the courts of Washington. It is conceded that this divorce was valid. In the action before us the plaintiff asked for a divorce and an allowance of alimony. The defendant pleaded the Washington divorce. The trial resulted in a judgment for the plaintiff for alimony, but not for a divorce, and the defendant appeals.
