Lopez v. Lopez

On March 28, 1961, an order for temporary support of Mrs. Lopez and the three children of Mr. and Mrs. Lopez was entered pending final disposition of her suit for separate maintenance. By the order Mr. Lopez was directed to pay $55.00 per week. On July 3, 1961, a decree of separate maintenance was entered, fixing again the sum of $55.00 each week as support for the wife and three children, and further directing Mr. Lopez to pay $225.00 in installments of $15.00 each week for her attorney’s fee.

These awards were made in due course after Mr. Lopez failed to appear personally or by counsel.…
