83 N.J. Eq. 214 | New York Court of Chancery | 1914
The ehaxge of adultery alleged in the petition is established. The defendant deserted the petitioner in 1909 and during the separation she gave premature birth to a child in March of 3913. The master to whom the cause was referred advised
Purthermore, it appears that the defendant was a chronic deserter, and it is not to be assumed that the husband’s failure to become reconciled immediately upon his wife’s offer to return, constituted a willful desertion on his part. The termination of the wife’s desertion, and the beginning of the husband’s would in a large measure depend upon a consideration of her good faith in making the offer. See also Freeman v. Freeman, 82 N. J. Eq. 360.
The exception is sustained and a divorce will be granted.
