Description
Madonna Curran filed suit in the city court of East St. Louis seeking separate maintenance from her husband, Dr. Edwin Curran,
on the ground of cruelty. Defendant denied the material allegations of the complaint and filed a counterclaim for divorce,
alleging cruelty by the plaintiff. After a hearing before the court without a jury, a decree was entered dismissing for want
of equity the complaint for separate maintenance, and granting defendant a divorce. Plaintiff was awarded custody of the minor child of the parties, defendant was ordered to pay certain sums weekly for support
of the child and for alimony, and the household furniture and furnishings were decreed to be the property of the plaintiff.
The decree further provided that plaintiff convey to defendant her interest in the real estate owned by the parties in joint
tenancy, consisting of the residence property and a horse farm, both pieces being subject to a mortgage then under foreclosure;
and that defendant provide a home for the plaintiff and child, either by redeeming the present home and conveying it to her
free and clear or by purchasing for her another residence of comparable value. From this decree the plaintiff appeals directly
to this court, a freehold being involved.
