Blackwell's Application

5 Conn. Super. Ct. 190

Connecticut Superior Court·Decided June 15, 1937·No. File No. 53536·Published·Cited by 1 cases

Opinion

The petitioner asks for a change of name on the ground that she has been divorced from her husband and she offers in evidence the divorce judgment of a Mexican Court showing the divorce was granted upon "mutual consent" grounds and obtained after a week's residence in Mexico for that purpose, with no residence there on the part of her husband.

Such a proceeding is not recognized as a divorce in this state (State vs. Cooke, 110 Conn. 348) and this Court will not recognize it by granting an application based upon it.

The petition is denied.
