Description

MERRILL, Justice. Appellant was the respondent in a divorce action and the final decree granted a divorce to appellee on the ground of cruelty, awarded the custody of their minor child to appellee, ordered appellant to pay $125 per month alimony and $75 per month for the support, maintenance and education of the minor and made provision for a property adjustment as to real property owned jointly by the parties. The argument section of appellant's brief consists of one page. Most of the argument is directed to the proposition that the decree 'fixing the alimony and support of the minor child is arbitrary and inequitable.' The evidence supported the charge of cruelty and there was also evidence of adultery but the court based the decree of divorce on the ground of 'physical cruelty.' We have said that where the husband is guilty of wanton or wicked conduct toward his wife, the allowance must be as liberal as the estate of the husband will permit under all the circumstances of the case. Steiner v. Steiner, 254 Ala. 260, 48 So.2d 184, and cases there cited; Tit. 34, § 32, Code 1940.
