63 Cal. 77 | Cal. | 1883
Plaintiff brought his suit for a divorce, charging the defendant with adultery, and defendant, after denying the charge in her answer, filed a cross-complaint praying a divorce from the plaintiff on the ground of extreme cruelty.
The court granted a divorce, but upon what ground does not appear in the transcript. Plaintiff appealed, and asks for a modification of the decree.
The point is made that the court awarded the defendant too large a proportion (nearly one half) of the community property. Section 146 of the Civil Code provides that “if the decree be rendered on the ground of adultery or extreme cruelty the community property shall be assigned to the respective parties in such proportions as the court, from the facts of the case and the condition of the parties may deem just.”
Judgment and order affirmed.
Hearing in Bank denied.
