Syllabus

<p>Divorce — Desertion—Domicile—Jurisdiction.</p> <p>A domicile in Pennsylvania is not lost by occasional visits to other states, where there is no evidence to warrant a finding that the libelant intended to establish a residence without the State.</p> <p>Divorce — Desertion.</p> <p>A divorce on the ground of desertion is properly awarded, where the respondent has failed to provide a home for his wife and children, and in answer to her offers to live with him imposed conditions, which he knew she would refuse, and has by his course of conduct clearly demonstrated that he had resolved to make a temporary separation an excuse for refusing to resume marital relations.'</p>
