Scott V. Holcomb

The parties to this action were married in 1923 and separated in 1934, when the eldest of their five children was ten years of age and the youngest, nineteen months. The record does not disclose through whose fault the separation was brought about, but it appears that the respondent left the home of the parties in New York, taking with him the four older children and a woman who later became his wife. The four children resided with the respondent and were supported by him until they reached majority or became self-supporting. In 1943, the family came to Washington, where the respondent has since resided.
