General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.
Armstrong v. Armstrong, 350 U.S. 568 (1956)
Armstrong v. Armstrong No. 38 Argued November 15, 1955 Decided April 9, 1956 350 U.S. 568
CERTIORARI TO THE SUPREME COURT OF OHIO
Syllabus
Petitioner, a resident of Florida, obtained there a divorce from his wife, who had separated from him and gone to Ohio, where she had established a residence. The service of process on her was constructive only, she did not appear, and the Florida court decreed that "no award of alimony be made" to her. Later, the wife sued in Ohio for divorce and alimony, and petitioner appeared and set up the Florida divorce. The Ohio court denied a divorce because of the prior Florida decree, but granted the wife alimony.
Held: the Florida court did not adjudicate the wife’s right to alimony, and the Ohio court therefore did not fail to give full faith and credit to the Florida decree. Pp. 568-572.
162 Ohio St. 406, 123 N.E.2d 267, affirmed.
