Syllabus

<p>1. Marital rights — Separation.—A widow, who, without cause, abandons her husband, and lives apart from him until his death, cannot claim homestead rights- as a constituent member of the family; but such acts do not deprive her of her distributive share of the husband’s separate property.</p> <p>2. Partition — Parties.—A suit for partition by the widow, for her distributive share of her deceased husband’s estate, cannot be maintained without making his children, if any, parties.</p>
