63 Wash. 288 | Wash. | 1911
On May 25, 1909, the superior court of Spokane county entered a decree of divorce in favor of the respondent, by which the appellant was required to pay the respondent the sum of $5,000 as a part of her proportionate share of the community property of the parties, the sum of $500 for attorney’s fees, and the further sum of $25 per month until the further order of the court for the maintenance and support of the children of the parties. The appellant appealed from the decree, but the same was affirmed in this court on December 24, 1909. Smith v. Smith, 56 Wash. 461, 105 Pac. 1030. During the pendency of the appeal, the appellant paid to the respondent, for the maintenance of the children, the sum of $65 per month, under an agreement with the respondent’s counsel that in consideration thereof no execution would be issued on the decree pending the appeal. After the affirmance of the decree, the appellant paid into court the sums awarded the respondent, without interest, and this proceeding was instituted to compel him to pay interest on the judgment at the rate of six per centum per annum from the sixth day of June, 1909, that being the date fixed in the decree when the sums awarded the respondent was required to be paid. The present appeal is from the last mentioned order.
The order appealed from is affirmed.
