16 Vt. 607

Jennings v. Jennings

Supreme Court of Vermont

Decided March 15, 1844

Supreme Court of Vermont · decided 1844-03-15

Petition for divorce, assigning, as cause, the cruel, gross and wanton refusal of the petitionee, without cause, to support the petitioner.

Relies on Mandigo v. Mandigo

Decided 1844-03-15

¶1The facts in the case were, in substance, that the petitioner was in feeble health and had two children, of whom the petitionee was the father. The petitionee was without property, but was able by his labor to support his family ; but since May, 1841, he had abandoned them, refusing to render them any assistance whatever.

¶2The Court refused to grant the divorce on the same ground, substantially, as in the case of Mandigo v. Mandigo, 15 Vt. 786.
