Blackwell's Application, 5 Conn. Super. Ct. 190 (Colo. Ct. App. 1937).

Pincite

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.
