Commonwealth ex rel. Darges v. Darges

Opinion by

Watkins, J.,

This is an appeal from an order of the County Court of Allegheny County adjudging the appellant husband, Paul H. Barges, guilty of nonsupport and directing him to pay the sum of $130 per month for the support of his wife, Ethel H. Barges.

The husband does not complain of the amount of the order and the basis of this appeal is his contention that his wife left him without legal justification and without his consent, so that no order of support could be properly made.

The parties were married on November 13, 1943 and lived together until the wife left on September 28, 1962.…
