HELENE KREIGER, Respondent, v. LOUIS KREIGER, Appellant.

Judgment and order affirmed, with costs.

CALLAHAN, J. (dissenting).

If the Nevada divorce was valid it terminated the marital relation, and the wife's rights under the separation decree ( Tonjes v. Tonjes, 14 App. Div. 542; Richards v. Richards, 87 Misc. 134, affd. 167 App. Div. 922; Burton v. Burton, 150 App. Div. 790; Scheinwald v. Scheinwald, 231 A D 757). In the absence of a finding of lack of jurisdiction of the Nevada court to grant the decree of divorce or proof that that judgment was procured by fraud, it was entitled to full faith and credit ( Matter of Holmes, 291 N.Y. 261).

The order and the judgment entered thereon should be reversed and the motion denied.

Martin, P.J., Glennon and Cohn, JJ., concur in decision; Callahan J., dissents in opinion in which Peck, J., concurs.

Judgment and order affirmed, with costs. No opinion.
