SPRUANCE v. SPRUANCE

113 A.2d 877 (1955)

Margaret Halsey SPRUANCE; Margaret Halsey Spruance, next friend of Margaret G. Spruance, a minor child, William Halsey Spruance, a minor child, and Alice Lea Spruance II, a minor child, Plaintiffs, v. Preston Lea SPRUANCE, Defendant.

Court of Chancery of Delaware, New Castle.

May 13, 1955.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Arthur G. Logan of Logan, Marvel, Boggs & Theisen, Wilmington, for plaintiffs.

John J. Morris, Jr., of Morris, James, Hitchens & Williams, Wilmington, for defendant.

SEITZ, Chancellor.

This is an action for separate maintenance brought by plaintiffs who are the wife and minor children of the defendant.

Defendant moved to dismiss this action as to all of the children on the ground that this Court lacked jurisdiction of an action for separate maintenance on their behalf. This objection is overruled on the authority of the recent decision of the Vice Chancellor in Cohen v. Markel, Del.Ch., 111 A.2d 702
