This was an application by the appellee for a divorce from his wife, the appellant. The petition charges
It is urged that the court erred in refusing to make an •order upon the plaintiff to furnish a sufficient sum of money to aid the appellant to defend the action. We could not reverse the case on account of this ruling of the court,
It is objected that the sum of $1,500, allowed by the court to the appellant as alimony, is insufficient. The parties had both been married before, and had each real property, and had also children by their former marriage, and none by the marriage which this action was brought to dissolve, and which had existed only about three yeai’s. The property of the appellee amounted in value to perhaps $10,000. It is not shown that the wife contributed, during the three years she resided with her husband, to increase his resources. The income from her own property did not go into the common fund. "We cannot say, under all the facts, that there has been an abuse of a proper legal discretion in fixing, the amount of alimony.
The judgment is affirmed, with costs.
