Alimony In Washington: A Note To The Legislature, Ramón E. Brown

Washington Law Review

The award of permanent alimony upon a divorce a vinculo, though involving the judicial process, is historically and theoretically dependent upon such power as the legislature of the particular jurisdiction deems fit to confer upon the courts. The Washington court has necessarily recognized this since in every case where the point was raised the court looked to the statutes for its authority. The divorce act now in effect, however, does not confer such power upon the courts! Undoubtedly there have been many awards of alimony since the passage of the present divorce act in 1949, but not under it. Unless …

Divorce-Separation For Statutory Period As A Ground Of Divorce Regardless Of Fault, William R. Hewitt S.Ed.

Michigan Law Review

H sued W for a divorce on the statutory grounds that the parties had lived apart without cohabitation for ten years. The facts showed that the separation was caused by the willful abandonment of W by H and that H had lived in adultery after the separation and had not contributed to W's support since the separation. The trial court denied the divorce. On appeal, held, reversed. Where H and W have lived apart for the statutory period without cohabitation, H was entitled to the divorce regardless of the cause of the original separation and regardless of his …

Illegal Conditions And Limitations: Effect Of Illegality, Olin L. Browder, Jr

Michigan Law Review

IN earlier articles the writer undertook to explore that miscellaneous and somewhat neglected field of law in which public policy is held to nullify the efforts of persons to impose certain types of conditions and limitations on dispositions of their property.' Such provisions most commonly take the form either of conditions subsequent or executory limitations, but occasionally appear as conditions precedent or special limitations. Unlike provisions which run afoul of the rule against perpetuities or the rules against restraints on alienation, the provisions in question usually prescribe conduct on the part of beneficiaries which is not directly related to the …

Domestic Relations-Recent Developments (A Service For Returning Veterans), John S. Bradway

Michigan Law Review

During the past five years family life in America has been subjected to unusual strains. The repercussions of the war, as well as the usual peacetime factors, affecting the domestic circle have received attention of sociologists and lay writers. The legal implications have not made such prompt appearance in published form.

Information as to that part of the impact of family dislocation caused by war is available in many places, none the least important being the records in the offices of legal assistance officers in the armed forces, of the Committees on War Work set up by the American and …

Taxation-Federal Income Tax-Taxation To Settlor Of Income From Trust Established To Discharge A Legal Obligation

Michigan Law Review

Shortly before the entering of a decree of absolute divorce in favor of his wife, a husband agreed to transfer securities in trust for the wife's benefit in lieu of alimony and all other claims. The divorce decree incorporated the trust agreement. On certiorari to the Circuit Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit, which had sustained a tax against the settlor on the income of the trust estate on the ground that it discharged a legal obligation, the Supreme Court of the United States affirmed the judgment. After disposing of the argument that the trust was entirely voluntary since …
