Syllabus

<p>Divorce — Alimony—Enforcement—Contempt Proceeding— Title —Parties. A proceeding to enforce a decree for alimony by means of notice and commitment for contempt in case of default, is not an independent contempt proceeding to be prosecuted in tbe name of tbe state, but is properly entitled in the divorce case.</p> <p>Same — Remarriage of Plaintiff — Parties. The remarriage of the wife does not prevent the enforcement of a decree for alimony.</p> <p>Same — Support of Child — Remarriage of Plaintiff — Effect. The fact that, on remarriage, the wife’s husband assumed the custody and support of a child, is no answer to contempt proceedings to enforce the payment of alimony awarded to the wife for such support.</p>
