Akins v. Akins

November 28,1951, Elizabeth C. Akins and Edward S. Akins (each approximately forty-four years of age) were married. No issue resulted from this marriage. Elizabeth Akins’ minor child by a previous marriage lived with them.

July 16, 1956, Elizabeth Akins commenced this action for divorce, alleging personal indignities. Edward Akins answered, denying the allegations of the complaint, and cross-complained for a divorce upon the same grounds. Plaintiff’s reply denied the allegations of the cross-complaint. Upon the issues thus joined, the cause proceeded to trial.
