Ayers v. Ayers
| Decision Date | 24 August 1896 |
| Parties | AYERS v. AYERS. |
| Court | Georgia Supreme Court |
Syllabus by the Court.
This being an application for temporary alimony, founded on a libel for divorce brought by the husband, and the evidence showing that he was a chronic invalid, with a diseased spine, incapable of performing physical labor, without means and out of employment, save only as to a situation in an hotel at nominal wages, which he held more as a matter of charity on the part of the proprietor than because of any real ability to render services, it was an abuse of discretion to require him to pay $105 in cash, and $30 per month additional until the termination of the divorce case.
Error from superior court, Habersham county; J. J. Kimsey, Judge.
