Barnes v. Barnes
Barnes v. Barnes
Opinion of the Court
As a ground for reversal it is insisted that the allowance of alimony is excessive and that the plaintiff in error is unable to discharge his obligation in the pyament thereof. It will be recalled that these parties were married ,and lived together for a period of about ten years. Five children were born as a result of that marriage, all of whom were living at the time the cause was heard. It was charged upon the part of the plaintiff below that a pretended friend, by the name of Semple, became a frequent visitor
It is claimed, however, that Barnes is unable to pay the sum of $100.00 per month ,as alimony. However, this court has no authority to interfere with the allowance made. A case of interest in this connection is that of Meissner v Meissner, 5 C.D., 305.
The same principle is announced in 26 C. C., N.S., 523. Likewise in the case of Conant v. Conant. 26 O.D., 60, a case worthy of notice in this connection, so that this court has no authority to alter the decree as to the allowance of alimony, and the judgment is affirmed.
