Jacobs v. Gaskill
Supreme Court of Kansas · Decided July 7, 1904
69 Kan. 872; 77 P. 550

Jacobs v. Gaskill

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam:

The court below, in decreeing the parti- - tion in this case, proceeded upon the theory that a divorced husband is not cut off from his right of inheritance in the wife’s estate by a decree of divorce rendered under the statute of Kansas, as it now stands, until after the expiration of six months from the date of such decree. This was aii erroneous view of the law. (Durland v. Durland, 67 Kan. 734, 74 Pac. 274, 63 L. R. A. 959.)

The judgment is reversed and the case remanded.
