Syllabus

<p>Husband and Wife (108) — Separate Maintenance — Temporary Allowance and Suit Money — Effect of Appeal. Although a judgment for separate maintenance of a wife and children has been superseded pending appeal, the superior court still retains jurisdiction after such judgment to compel the husband to pay for her separate maintenance during appeal, notwithstanding the supersedeas, and to order the payment by the husband of suit money for the preparation of her case on appeal.</p> <p>Same (108) — Separate Maintenance — Suit Money — Denial of Marriage — Appeal—Presumptions. The denial of the existence of a legal marriage relation between parties will not defeat the right of the alleged wife to an allowance for maintenance and suit money pending an appeal from a judgment awarding her separate maintenance, where the trial court has found that there was a valid marriage between the parties.</p>
