Parties | VAN HORN v. VAN HORN. |
Appeal from Superior Court, King County; Boyd J. Tallman, Judge.
Action by Marion V. Van Horn against Ross H. Van Horn on an interlocutory order of a foreign court awarding temporary alimony and suit money. From a judgment dismissing the complaint, plaintiff appeals. Affirmed.
William B. Allison, for appellant.
Bamford A. Robb, for respondent.
This action was instituted in the court below on an interlocutory order of the superior court of Alameda county in the state of California awarding temporary alimony and suit money to the plaintiff herein in an action for divorce pending in that court. A demurrer interposed to the amended complaint was sustained, and the plaintiff electing to stand on her complaint, and, refusing to plead further, a judgment of dismissal was entered. From that judgment the present appeal is prosecuted.
The order on which the action is based was made under section 137 of the Civil Code of California, which reads as follows 'When an action for divorce is pending, the court may, in its discretion, require the husband to pay as alimony, any money necessary to enable the wife to support herself and her children, or prosecute or defend the action.' The authorities very generally agree that an action will not lie in another court or in the courts of another state on an order or judgment such as this. Baugh v. Baugh, 4 Bibb. (Ky.) 556; Ledyad v.

The reason for the rule is thus stated in Israel v. Israel, supra: Without questioning the rule announced in these cases, counsel for the appellant earnestly insists that the order in question is a final one under the decisions of the Supreme Court of the state of California, and must be so considered here. In support of this contention he cites: Sharon v. Sharon, 67 Cal. 185, 7 P. 456, 635, 8 P....
