Children of Divorcees
In brief, but no uncertain manner, Mr. Justice Blair gave his opinion in the Supreme Court, Napier, this week of divorce-seeking parties, who, in their claim, made no reference to the custody of the children of the marriage. “Do you want them to be suspended like Mohammed s coffin? His Honour asked counsel for one of the parties. “I take a great interest in children in actions such as these. I don't care two straws what happens to the parents, but I am interested in seeing that ample provision is made for the children.”
