Zelma Marie Overton v. ira Parker Overton

In this action, Zelma Marie Overton, plaintiff, filed a petition for divorce from Ira Parker Overton, defendant. Defendant
filed an answer and cross-petition, seeking a divorce from the plaintiff. After a trial extending over three different days,
a decree was entered awarding plaintiff a divorce and settling the property rights of the parties. Plaintiff prosecutes an
appeal to this court on the inadequacy of the award of property. Defendant prosecutes a cross-appeal, attacking the order
for temporary support pending appeal. The parties, who were married in 1925, have one child who is of legal age. They have been residents of Lincoln, Nebraska,
except for short periods, since 1925 but continuously since early in the 1940's. The parties do not question the granting
of an absolute divorce, and from the record it is evident that there is no possibility of a reconciliation. It will serve
no useful purpose to describe the many incidents of their tumultuous marriage. While the corroboration herein is extremely
thin and some of the uncorroborated testimony of the plaintiff tests credulity, and even if true has long since been condoned,
we find there is sufficient evidence to sustain a decree awarding an absolute divorce. While the plaintiff was not without
fault, we affirm the action of the trial court in awarding her the divorce.
