Parker v. Parker

Plaintiff and defendant were married on August 25, 1927. One child, a daughter, Kathleen, was born to them in 1929. The petition, filed on September 15, 1950, prayed for a divorce upon the grounds of cruel and inhuman treatment such as to endanger plaintiff’s life and health, and of desertion for a period of more than two years. At the time of the trial in the district court of Jefferson County, which was begun on August 27, 1951, plaintiff was sixty-one years of age and defendant sixty-three. Further facts material to a determination of this appeal will be set out in Division II hereof.
