Christine Madison Spearing Schlemm, Plaintiff-Respondent-Cross-Appellant v. William Schlemm…

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey affirmed the Chancery Division's judgment, holding that the Nevada divorce decree is entitled to full faith and credit, that the July 22, 1953 settlement agreement remains enforceable, that the husband must pay arrearages and ongoing support, and that no allowance is due for capital improvements or furniture while an attorney's fee is proper. A dissent argued the Nevada decree is fraudulent and should be void.
