Syllabus

<p>Husband and Wife — Separate Maintenance — Abandonment—Evidence — Sufficiency. An abandonment of a wife is shown where, although the parties continued to live in the same house, the husband refused to treat her as his wife, or converse with her, or allow her credit for necessities, and insisted upon her getting a divorce.</p> <p>Same — Nonsuppobt—Evidence—Sufficiency. The evidence justifies a decree for separate maintenance, although the husband allowed the wife to live in the same house and provided groceries and paid laundry and doctor’s bills, where he had abandoned her, refused her credit for clothing, and by his treatment sought to force her to obtain a divorce.</p> <p>Same — Allowance—Amount. Separate maintenance in the sum of $50 per month, $220 for money borrowed, and $75 attorney’s fees, is justified, where the community property was valued at $30,000.</p>
