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.
Streitwolf v. Streitwolf, 181 U.S. 179 (1901)
MR. JUSTICE GRAY, after stating the case as above, delivered the opinion of the Court.
This case must follow Bell v. Bell, ante,175. The law of North Dakota requires a domicil in good faith of the libellant for ninety days as a prerequisite to jurisdiction of a case of divorce. Smith v. Smith, 7 N.D. 404, 413. The facts in evidence warranted, and indeed required, the finding that the husband had no bona fide domicil in the State of North Dakota when he obtained a divorce there, and it is not pretended that the wife had an independent domicil in North Dakota, or was ever in that state. The court of that state therefore had no jurisdiction.
Judgment affirmed.
