83 So. 906 | La. | 1920
The defendant appeals from a judgment allowing bis wife $12.50 a week for alimony during tbe pendency of her suit for separation.
The demand for a judgment of separation, preliminary to an absolute divorce, is founded upon allegations of cruel treatment on the part of the husband, making it intolerable for the plaintiff to remain in the house where her husband insists she shall live with him.
In answer to the rule for alimony, defendant adopted his answer to the suit for sepa-. ration; that is, he denied that tbe plaintiff had been treated cruelly or unkindly, and insisted that she should return to the home of his parents, where he had taken her to live with him. The record does not disclose that either party asked for a prompt trial of the suit for separation.
The judgment appealed from is affirmed at appellant’s cost.
