Katherine ROMANCHUK, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. William ROMANCHUK, Defendant-Appellee.

Docket No. 11489.

Court of Appeals of Michigan, Division No. 1.

March 30, 1972.

Released for Publication June 8, 1972.

Raymond W. Krolikowski, Krolikowski & Remick, Detroit, for plaintiff-appellant.

Denys Kwitkowsky, Detroit (Kenneth H. Phillips, Royal Oak, of counsel), for defendant-appellee.

Before LESINSKI, C. J., and J. H. GILLIS and QUINN, JJ.

MEMORANDUM OPINION.

Plaintiff-appellant filed a complaint for a divorce from bed and board pursuant to M.C.L.A. § 552.7; M.S.A. § 25.87. The trial court granted an absolute divorce to plaintiff and from such judgment she appeals of right.

In an action for a divorce from bed and board the trial judge has the power, within his discretion, to grant an absolute divorce. Ratcliffe v. Ratcliffe, 308 Mich. 488, 14 N.W.2d 127 (1944). A review of the briefs and records in the case at bar convinces us that the instant trial judge did not abuse his discretion. Furthermore, the plaintiff consented to an absolute divorce on the record. Accordingly, this appeal is without merit.

Affirmed. Costs to appellee.
