Rochester v. Rochester

Opinion of the Court

AtKINSON, J.

The relief is obtained at the suit of the wife. The object of alimony is the support of the children as well as the wife. There may be reason for allowing alimony with direction that the same be applied to the use of one to the exclusion of the other. When the judge so finds without abusing his discretion, his judgment will not be disturbed.

Judgment affirmed.

All the Justices concur.
