MARRIAGE AND DIVORCE - GROSS NEGLECT OF DUTY AS A GROUND FOR DIVORCE - WIFE'S SEPARATE EMPLOYMENT CAUSING NEGLECT OF HOUSEHOLD DUTIES

The husband, plaintiff in a divorce action, alleged that his wife's employment, against his will, caused her to become irritable, unpleasant and quarrelsome and to neglect her household tasks. Held, that the petition states a cause of action on the ground of gross neglect of duty or extreme cruelty under the Ohio statute, but that the proof fails to bear out the plaintiff's allegations.
