Texas Supreme Court

Jesse McCullough v. Bertha McCullough.

March 18, 1931120 Tex. 209

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that the plaintiff's divorce petition was sufficient to survive a general demurrer and that the record contained sufficient evidence of cruelty to satisfy the statutory ground for divorce. The Court clarified that cruelty need not involve physical violence but must render further cohabitation insupportable, and declined to answer the third certified question for lack of jurisdiction.
