New York Court of Appeals

Harriet E. Sleicher, Appellant v. Charles A. Sleicher, Respondent

July 11, 1929251 N.Y. 366

Summary

The Court held that the first husband's liability for alimony is limited to the period after the second marriage was annulled and does not extend retroactively to the time the plaintiff was married to a second husband. The Court reversed the Appellate Division and affirmed the Special Term's order denying past installments. Justice Kellogg, in a concurring opinion, agreed with the result but emphasized the fraud basis for the annulment.
