Smith v. Bray
Smith v. Bray
Opinion of the Court
Lynn W. Bray appeals from a judgment •granting delinquent support money payments for a period of eight years to Lois Fullmer Bray Smith, respondent herein.
Viewed in the light most favorable to respondent, the record discloses that she procured a divorce from Lynn W. Bray in February, 1945, wherein she was awarded '$60 a month support money for their two minor children. Mr. Bray failed to make these payments from 1947 until February, 1959, when he paid $30 in response to a demand from respondent’s attorney. Respondent having remarried in 1946 took no positive action to collect these payments, though she indicated to Mr. Bray on some few occasions when she saw him that she would appreciate some financial assistance for his children. These children have been ■going under the name of her second husband •since respondent’s remarriage but have not been adopted by him. Appellant testified that he was requested to stay away and he was led to believe that they did not want anything from him.
Appellant contends the facts in this case are similar to those in Larsen v. Larsen,
Affirmed. Costs to respondent.
Concurring Opinion

I concur in the result but have considerable difficulty in squaring this case with Larsen v. Larsen.
