DIVORCEES, TAKE NOTICE! '
The I'nited States Supreme Court on
Monday handed down a decision in a
ronfcMed divorce suit which directly
affects a very large per cent of all
divorce in this country. The decision,
in bri.'f, i the effect that state courts
cannot grant divorce binding in other
tates where only the plaintiff is resi
dent in the state where the divorce is
M-cured and the ulcfeinlant is not serv
ed with personal' summon.
Thi decit-ion. if rigidly adhered to,
will nullify hundred of divorces heiv
tofore granted and brand as illegitimate
eores of children born of subsequent
marriages entered into by persons be
lieving themselve legally divorced. For
this reason it is attracting widespread
attention among legal men and the pub
lic in general.
Among lawyers and judge the gen
eral opinon is that the decision affects
only those divorce in which one party
thereto resided, at the time of the
granting of the decree, in a state whose
divorce law. conflict with those of the
state where the divorce was obtained.
If, however, it is construed to apply to
all divorces .where one party thereto
was a non resident at the time of the
decree, it will result in untold embar
rassment and complications over prop
erly rights. Seattle lawyer are quot
ed as stating that an average of fifteeu
divorce are- granted weekly in King
county alone, fully "." per cent, of
which arc "default cases," where the
defendant is non resident and summons
i served by publication alone.
It. is believed by many that, thi de
cision is -a long step toward divorce law
reform and will ine'vitably result in na
tional and perhaps international, uni
form it v of the-c laws. Seattle P.-l.
