A restraining order was obtained by Mrs. Landwerlin and was served on the defendant. The order prevents him from disposing of any of his property pending the hearing of the case. The plaintiff asserts that her husband owns property valued at $10,500.
Mr. and Mrs. Landwerlin were married November 29, 1921, and separated November 30, 1923. Mrs. Landwerlin charges that her husband refused to go to housekeeping and that after they were married they made their home with her parents. She says that her father offered to aid her husband in providing a home and at one time offered to rent a farm to him, but that Mr. Landwerlin refused. The plaintiff asserts in her complaint that her husband stated that the present arrangements suited him, as he only wanted to be with her a part of the time.
The wife asserts that her husband cursed her, was in the company of other women, told her that he did not care for her and failed to provide for her.
