1 Wright 563
Decided May 15, 1834
Ohio Supreme Court · decided 1834-05-15
<p>Divorce — requisites of petition — extreme cruelty.</p> <p>The petition for divorce for extreme cruelty, should specify some acts of cruelty, that the defendant may know what he is to meet.</p> <p>Extreme cruelty is personal violence.</p>
Decided 1834-05-15
¶1Under the existing law you cannot get along with this, if the petition sets forth no act of cruelty. Extreme cruelty as uniformly determined under the law, consists of acts of personal violence, and some acts should be stated that the defendant may know what to answer.
¶2The bill is dismissed without prejudice.
