¶1This action is brought to restrain the defendant from prosecuting an action against the plaintiff for divorce in the superior court of Cook county, Illinois. The plaintiff appeals from an order denying her application for a temporary injunction.
¶2In an action brought by the plaintiff against the defendant in the district court of Ramsey county, Minnesota, for separate support, judgment was entered on April 22, 1913, adjudging in substance that the defendant pay the plaintiff $125 per month, commencing May 10, 1913, so long as plaintiff continued to live separate and apart from her husband. This judgment was entered pursuant to a stipulation of the parties and an order of the court based thereon. It was an equitable action for separate support, not an action for a limited divorce. See Baier v. Baier, 91 Minn. 165, 97 N. W. 671.
¶3The defendant claims that in October, 1912, he established his residence in Chicago, and that he is now a resident and citizen of *23Illinois. The evidence on the hearing of the motion was prima facie sufficient in proof of residence and citizenship in Illinois. In April, 1914, the defendant commenced an action for divorce in the superior court of Cook county and in that action the plaintiff in this action was served with process and has appeared and answered.
¶4The defendant Robert H. Merriam was personally served in 'this state with process in the pending action. Without discussing what are the powers of a Minnesota court to restrain the defendant from proceeding with his divorce action in Illinois, it is quite clear that the court committed no error in refusing a temporary injunction. A temporary injunction in a case like this is issued with caution. Hawkins v. Ireland, 64 Minn. 339, 67 N. W. 73, 58 Am. St. 534; Freick v. Hinkly, 122 Minn. 24, 141 N. W. 1096, 46 L.R.A.(N.S.) 695, and cases cited.
¶5The courts of Illinois will properly dispose of the litigation and will properly determine whether the plaintiff is in fact a resident and citizen of Illinois and entitled to a divorce there. If the judgment rendered in this court is in issue in the Illinois court,' it will be construed properly, and full faith and credit will be given to it under the faith and credit clause of the Federal Constitution.
¶6Order affirmed.
