Comp, L., 1927, secs. 7559-7660) punishing as bigamous any person remarrying while the former spouse was still living, unless that spouse had been absent three years, the party remarrying not knowing the other to be alive during that time, or unless a legal divorce had been granted. The defense was, that as the defendant's first wife had told him and others that she had secured a divorce and had remarried, and had introduced to him her second husband, he honestly believed her. It was held, …

Incompatibility Of Parties As Ground For Divorce, E. B. Herald May 1929

Incompatibility Of Parties As Ground For Divorce, E. B. Herald

Washington Law Review

This brief note is concerned with two recent decisions in the State of Washington touching the law of divorce, Shaw v. Shaw, decided August 22, 1928, by Department One, and Haller v. Haller, decided October 8, 1928, by Department Two. The facts of both cases turn upon incompatibility or the inability of the parties to live together. In the Shaw case the court holds that since the enactment of the Session Laws of 1921, p. 331, this is no longer ground for divorce in this state. In the Haller case the other department of the court apparently holds that it …

Time Of Entry Of Interlocutory Decree Of Divorce As Affecting Date Of Final Decree, F. C. Hackman

The Recognition Of Foreign Decrees Of Divorce, Wm. Turney Fox Feb 1927

The Recognition Of Foreign Decrees Of Divorce, Wm. Turney Fox

West Virginia Law Review

The question of the recognition of foreign decrees of divorce is one of real and growing importance. The conflict of law that exists in this country, where divorces are granted by one state and their validity tested in another, is one that is familiar to the legal profession. In fact, it is familiar to the public generally. The unfortunate situation of persons legally divorced in one state and not in another; of a second marriage valid in one state, declared invalid in another; and the general confusion resulting from such conflict is constantly presented to the public through the daily …

Recognition Of Foreign Decree Annulling Marriage

Michigan Law Review

Decisions considering the question of jurisdiction to annul a marriage or the recognition to be afforded to a decree of annulment rendered by a But upon questions in the law of divorce authorities are legion.

Y. 467, the court of appeals said that every misrepresentation of a material fact, made with the intention …

Foreign Marriages And The Conflict Of Laws, Herbert F. Goodrich May 1923

Foreign Marriages And The Conflict Of Laws, Herbert F. Goodrich

Michigan Law Review

It is common these days to speak of marriage as a contract. Not only do we use the term "marriage contract" as meaning a promise to marry in the future, but also to describe the contract or expression of consent by which the parties take each other for husband and wife. The statutes of many of our states declare marriage to be a "civil contract." A moment's thought will show great differences between marriage and the ordinary civil contract. A marriage contract can be contracted only between a man and a woman; it has no validity if one of the …
