178 So. 2d 339 | Fla. Dist. Ct. App. | 1965
This is an appeal by the plaintiff, Lawrence M. Fairall, from a final decree denying his divorce.
Plaintiff husband brought suit for divorce against defendant wife and alleged the grounds therefor to be conduct amounting to habitual indulgence in a violent and ungovernable temper and desertion. Defendant answered the complaint by filing a general denial but sought no affirmative relief. After hearing the testimony of several witnesses for both sides, the chancellor entered his final decree denying plaintiff a divorce and finding that plaintiff’s conduct was the producing cause of defendant’s demeanor.
Plaintiff on appeal asserts that the chancellor erred in denying the divorce on the stated ground that plaintiff’s conduct was the producing cause of defendant’s behavior. We find substantial competent evidence in the record to support this finding and we affirm that portion of the chancellor’s decree denying the divorce.
Affirmed in part and reversed in part.
