Wilson v. Wilson

132 S.E.2d 695, 260 N.C. 347, 1963 N.C. LEXIS 705

Opinion

Per Curiam.

The order sustaining the demurrer must be affirmed under the authority of Rouse v. Rouse, 258 N.C. 520, 128 S.E. 2d 865. Plaintiff and defendant -began a new period of separation on September 26, 1960, the date of the judgment awarding defendant permanent alimony in her action instituted under G.S. 50-16. Two years thereafter plaintiff was legally entitled to institute this action. A decree of absolute divorce will neither impair hi® liability for alimony under the former judgment nor affect the power of the -court to- enforce it by contempt proceedings or otherwise.

Affirmed.
