Syllabus

<p>DIVORCE-JURISDICTION-RESIDENCE OE PARTIES.</p> <p>Under the statutory provisions governing divorce, the superior court has no jurisdiction when it appears that neither the plaintiff nor cross-complainant have been residents of the state for a year preceding the filing of the petition for divorce; nor would allegations in plaintiff’s complaint and affidavit setting forth domicile here for the necessary length of time, when the facts are otherwise, be sufficient to warrant the court in entertaining jurisdiction of defendant’s cross-complaint for annulment of the marriage.</p>
