Cooper v. Cooper

Court of Errors and Appeals
Sep 16, 1938
1 A.2d 377 (N.J. 1938)

Opinion

Argued May 25th, 1938.

Decided September 16th, 1938.

On appeal from the court of chancery.

Mr. William E. Sewell ( Mr. Simon L. Fisch, of counsel). for the appellant.

Mr. John R. Kelly, for the respondent.


Appellant, husband, appeals from a decree of chancery dismissing his petition for divorce in which he charged his wife with desertion. The wife denied the charge. The issue is entirely factual. The cause was fully tried before an advisory master who concluded that the husband failed to sustain the burden of proof and accordingly dismissed the petition.

We are entirely satisfied that the proofs completely support the result reached.

Accordingly, the decree is affirmed, with costs.

For affirmance — THE CHIEF-JUSTICE, TRENCHARD, PARKER, CASE, BODINE, DONGES, HEHER, PERSKIE, PORTER, HETFIELD, DEAR, WELLS, WOLFSKEIL, RAFFERTY, WALKER, JJ. 15.

For reversal — None.
