Syllabus

<p>Cancellation of Instruments — Complaint—Sufficiency. A complaint alleging joint ownership and right of possession to real property, an adverse holding by certain defendants under a deed that is void for want of delivery, a refusal of the co-owner to join in the action, who is accordingly made a defendant, states a cause of action for cancellation of the deed and recovery of the property.</p> <p>Divorce — Disposition of Property — Community Property. A decree can make no disposition of the property of the spouses where it is not brought before the court, and failure to do so renders community property the common property of the divorced parties, and waives the right to which the parties might be entitled on considering the merits in the divorce action.</p>
