42 So. 2d 540

Jackson v. Jackson

Supreme Court of Florida

Decided November 1, 1949

Supreme Court of Florida · decided 1949-11-01

Decided 1949-11-01

¶1After a careful examination of the record in this appeal we are not disposed to disturb that part of the decree determining the issue of divorce, but we have the conviction that the appellant should not be deprived of all interest in the property evidently accumulated in a union which lasted eight years and should not be precluded from applying for alimony in the future if she is in need and the circumstances of the appellee justify such an award.

¶2The decree is reversed, with directions to grant the appellant one-half interest in the equity in their home and to retain jurisdiction for the entertainment of any petition for alimony which she may file in the future.

¶3Affirmed in part and reversed in part.

¶4ADAMS, C.J., and TERRELL and ROBERTS, JJ., concur.
