District of Columbia Court of Appeals.

Decided March 15, 1968.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Sol M. Alpher, Washington, D. C., with whom Maurice Friedman, Washington, D. C., was on the brief, for appellant.

Michael A. Schuchat, Washington, D. C., with whom Milton M. Gottesman, Washington, D. C., was on the brief, for appellee.

Before HOOD, Chief Judge, and MYERS and KELLY, Associate Judges.


KELLY, Associate Judge:

It is claimed in this appeal from a judgment of separate maintenance that the trial court awarded excessive maintenance and counsel fees and erred in denying appellant's counterclaim for divorce on the ground of voluntary separation, in refusing to give full faith and credit to appellant's Mexican divorce decree, and in failing to make written findings of fact and conclusions of law. We consider these claims in inverse order and affirm.
