Citation93 N.W.2d 856,5 Wis.2d 352
PartiesJune F. BRAZY, Appellant, v. Robert R. BRAZY, Respondent.
CourtWisconsin Supreme Court

On motion for rehearing.

For original opinion see, 92 N.W.2d 738.

Charles H. Galin, Milwaukee, for appellant.

Hersh & Magidson, Milwaukee, for respondent.

FAIRCHILD, Justice.

The respondent husband has raised a number of questions as to the effect of our decision, but these questions go beyond the issues properly before us on the appeal. Our decision did not impair the jurisdiction of the Wisconsin court to hear a motion to modify the rights and obligations of these parties with respect to custody, alimony, or support money. We decided that it was error for the Wisconsin court to entertain the motion of appellant husband brought November 5, 1957 while the action in California court was pending, but did not decide that the Wisconsin court lacked jurisdiction of the subject matter.

Motion for rehearing denied, with $25 costs.
