Betty L. DERRIG, Appellee, v. Lawrence T. DERRIG, Appellant.

Supreme Court of Iowa.

May 5, 1971.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Gerald Shaffer, Fort Dodge, for appellant.

Claire Carlson, of Bastian, Beisser & Carlson, Fort Dodge, for appellee.


MOORE, Chief Justice.

In this action both parties sought a decree of divorce on the ground of cruel and inhuman treatment under section 598.8(5, Code 1966. This case was tried and decided prior to July 1, 1970, the effective date of House File 1137, Acts of the 63rd General Assembly, Second Session (now chapter 598, Code 1971), when our divorce law was completely revised and changed. Although of great importance to the parties it has little precedential value.
