Wicks v. Wicks

This is a divorce case.

The parties were married on April 25, 1952, in the state of Mississippi and lived together as husband and wife until they separated approximately one and one-half years prior to the institution of these divorce proceedings in 1978.

At trial, both the wife's complaint and husband's counterclaim were amended to allege adultery by the other party as an additional ground for divorce.
