Schuberth v. Schuberth

CHAPMAN, Justice. The record reflects that the parties hereto married May 19, 1948, and cohabited as husband and wife until January 19, 1949. The wife was approaching 40 years of age and the husband 50 at the time of the marriage. It was the third marriage for each of the parties. For several months prior to the marriage the wife was employed and earned approximately $50.00 per week and meals and had accumulated some few thousand dollars. The husband is shown to have accumulated real and personal property and owned and operated a seafood restaurant in Miami when the wife filed suit against her husband for divorce and other relief. It is contended here that the husband's property is valued at approximately $75,000.00, but the husband vigorously denied the contention. The book records show that the restaurant was not at the time of taking testimony a very profitable business.
