Thomas H. Figures v. Janice F. Figures

PER CURIAM Thomas H. Figures (husband) and Janice F. Figures (wife) were married in January 1987. In August 1991, the wife filed a complaint
in the Circuit Court of Mobile County, alleging as grounds for divorce incompatibility of temperament and physical violence
by the husband. The wife sought, inter alia, an equitable division of proceeds from the sale of the homeplace, an award of
alimony in gross, and a reasonable attorney's fee. The husband answered and filed a counterclaim for divorce, wherein he alleged
abandonment by the wife as grounds for such relief.
