New York Court of Appeals July 15, 1925 (In Re the Application for Letters of Guardianship of the Person & Property of Thorne)

lead-opinion

Pound, J.

By a judgment of divorce against Mary Casey Thorne, the respondent herein, custody of the infant child of herself and her husband was awarded to the husband and she was found not fit, competent or a proper person to have custody of it. Thereafter the husband died. His domicile and, therefore, that of the child up to the time of his death was in Dutchess county.
