Reciprocity Act Invoked By Judge Finding Is Sent To Van Wert Court ~j \ , A new type of legal proceeding was recorded in Adams circuit court Wednesday afternoon. Using the 19 51 reciprocity statute, Waneta Routt, by Severin H. Schurger, prosecutor, filed a com plgint against Richard Routt, Van Wert, O.» route 5, under the reciprocal support of dependents law. The complaint stated, that a divorce had been granted the plaintiff in Adams circuit court December 8, 1951 and that plaintiff was the mother of a minor child and that defendant was the father. The complaint set out that because the defendant resided in Ohio, no support money had been paid and asked Judge Myles F. Parrish of Adams circuit court, that the Van Wert circuit court (common pleas) be given jurisdiction so that the duty of support could be enforced. The court held that the complaint Wa» justified and ordered the finding to be transmltteid to the Van Wert court to enforce the duty of support. Prior to the enactment of the reciprocity act, there were many instances where a court in Indiana would grant a divorce and orde** the defendant to pay support money, but the defendant would not be in the jurisdiction of the court any longer and the burden of support thus be neglected. The reciprocity statute now gives an Indiana cour the right to transfer the jurisdiction of enforcement to‘ any state haying a reciprocal law. illustrated talk on Korea. Refreshments will be served after ! the meeting and various entertainment is planned. i ,
