COOPER v. COOPER

Divorce — Abandonment.

Where the husband failed to support the wife, leaving her without necessities, and, on their having to leave their home because of his refusal to pay rent, told her to shift for herself, which she did by obtaining a place as domestic servant, while the husband resided in a house a short distance away without inviting the wife to live with him, held that the husband was guilty of abandoning the wife.

The findings of the chancellor should not be lightly disturbed, especially when there is much conflict in the evidence.

Decided March 8th, 1939.
