Description
This action, which was brought by plaintiff wife for an absolute divorce, was dismissed by the trial court at the close of her case ""for failure of proof with respect to the allegations of the complaint charging adultery"". The trial court then denied plaintiff's motion to amend the pleadings to allege a cause of action for separation but held that he would ""consider the case as one requiring an award of alimony in the case of an unsuccessful plaintiff who doesn't prove her case."" Eventually, the court rendered judgment dismissing plaintiff's complaint; but, in addition to certain provisions for support, maintenance and education of the children, the judgment awarded $3,500 annual alimony to plaintiff; directed that the defendant pay plaintiff $2,406.21 ""as reimbursement for necessaries"" and that he pay the outstanding bills of $1,875 to a psychiatrist and of $465 to a household maid for services rendered; and further decreed that the defendant should pay $1,500 counsel fees. The defendant appeals from the judgment insofar as it provides for the payments for the benefit of the wife.
