Hayes v. Hayes
Hayes v. Hayes
Opinion of the Court
FULL TEXT.
. This action comes into this court on a petition in error to the Common Pleas Court of Cuyahoga County.
There being no bill of exceptions, the court is unadvised as to just what took place in the court below, but it is claimed that the judgment of the court is contrary to law in that it did not have the power to enter the decree that it did.
In the court below the plaintiff in error brought an action for divorce against the defendant in error, who was his wife and he did not ask for alimony or anything of that kind, but alleged that the property set up in the petition had been obtained from him fraudulently by his w;'(fe and asked to have the conveyance set aside and for a divorce.
A cross petition asking for divorce and certain equitable relief was filed by the wife,
Inasmuch as there is no bill of exceptions to show the extent of the property, we cannot say that the ruling of the court was erroneous. The court had the power to grant alimony out of the wife’s property to the husband, if that had been asked for. He also had power to make such a division of the property as was just and equitable under all the circumstances, taking everything into consideration and we must assume, there being no record before us, that the court did that and the judgment as entered was clearly within the province and the power of the court to make.
We can, therefore, see no error in the proceedings and the judgment is affirmed.
