| N.Y. Sup. Ct. | Jun 15, 1901
The plaintiff, John Groh, obtained a judgment of absolute divorce against the defendant, Susie O. Groh, in February, 1899. In March, 1900, the plaintiff died. The defendant now,' after the lapse of more than a year from the death of plaintiff, makes a motion to set aside the judgment of divorce on the ground that said judgment was improperly obtained. I do not think this is the proper method of procedure. It seems to me, upon the authority of Watson v. Watson, 1 Hun, 267, that a separate action should have been brought against all the heirs and other persons interested in the real estate left by the plaintiff and such persons as may have taken conveyance thereof subsequent to the decree of divorce, as well as against the representatives of the deceased plaintiff. Motion denied, without costs and without prejudice.
