Syllabus

<p>SUPPORT OP MINOR CHILD — ACTION BY DIVORCED WIPE — DECREE AWARDING CUSTODY OP CHILD — HARMLESS ERROR.</p> <p>A divorced wife may maintain an action against her former husband for the maintenance of their minor child, whose custody had been awarded to ner by the decree of divorce, when it appears there was a finding in the action for divorce that neither party had any property, and the decree made no provision concerning alimony nor the maintenance of the child.</p> <p>Where a divorced couple subsequently unite and live together as man and wife, and the wife applies a second time for divorce under the impression that they are legally remarried, the order of the court awarding her the custody of their child is not prejudicial when it is the same award as made in the original divorce proceeding.</p>
