106 N.Y.S. 217 | N.Y. Sup. Ct. | 1907
This action is brought to obtain a judgment of separation from bed and board. It is conceded that the parties to the action have not lived together for the past eight or nine years, and it is claimed by the defendant that they separated by mutual consent prior to the 18th day of December, 1893. It is admitted by the defendant that he has been living with the woman referred to in the plaintiff’s moving affidavit, and that she has borne him two children, who are fifteen and thirteen years of age, respectively. The defendant alleges that he is the sole support and maintenance of this family. The plaintiff, in the notice of motion served herein, asks for an injunction restraining and enjoining the defendant from living or cohabiting with said woman during her (plaintiff’s) life. There are no allegations in the complaint or moving papers which entitle the plaintiff, under the provisions of the Code, to a temporary injunction. To entitle the plaintiff to a temporary injunction it must be shown that the application comes within the provisions of section 603 or section 604 of the Code of Civil Procedure. Section 603 provides as follows: “§ 603. Injunction, when the right thereto depends upon the nature of the action. Where it appears from the complaint, that the plaintiff demands and is entitled to a judgment against the defendant, restraining the commission or continuance of an act, the commission or continuance of which, during the pend-ency of the action, would produce injury to the plaintiff, an injunction order may be granted to restrain it. The case, provided for in this section, is described in this act, as a case, where the right to an injunction depends upon the nature of the action.” This action is brought to procure a judgment separating the parties from bed and board. It is apparent upon the face of the complaint that this is not a case where the plaintiff is entitled to an injunction under section 603 of the Code, “where the right to injunction depends upon the nature of the action.” In other words, where an injunction is sought under this section it must be prayed for as part of the relief demanded in the complaint.
