Michigan Supreme Court

Fred M. Seibly v. Rollin H. Person, Circuit Judge of Ingham County

June 4, 1895105 Mich. 584

Summary

The court held that a divorce decree reserving alimony for later determination retained jurisdiction to award permanent alimony despite the former husband's death. It also held that the wife's delay, the subpoena's wording, and the bill's failure to allege the husband's faculties did not necessarily defeat the proceeding. The challenged order was vacated because the heirs and legatees had not been joined, without prejudice to refiling with the proper parties.
