1. ““We have stated that the question presented by the appellant’s petition to modify is moot if the trial court was legally correct in granting a divorce to appellee. The granting of a divorce terminates rights granted under a decree of separate maintenance. Maddox v. Maddox, [ 276 Ala. 197 , 160 So.2d 481 (1964) ]. We find the trial court correct in granting appellee a divorce under authority of Title 34, Section 22(1), as amended. The entry of this decree terminated the effectiveness of the decree of separate maintenance entered in the first in 1965, and thus there was nothing left to modify. The court could not be in error for failure to modify.””
