Herbert COLTUN, Appellant, v. Shirley COLTUN, Appellee.
    No. 63-889.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida. Third District.
    Sept. 22, 1964.
    Tobias Simon, Miami, for appellant.
    Sidney L. Syna, Miami, for appellee.
    Before BARKDULL, C. J., and CARROLL and HORTON, JJ.
   PER CURIAM.

By this appeal, the appellant [second husband of the appellee] attempts to attack a prior divorce decree between the ap-pellee and another, which is not void on its face. The chancellor in the trial court dismissed the complaint, and we affirm. A second husband has no standing to contest his wife’s previous decree of divorce. See: Hicks v. Hicks, 186 Ga. 362, 197 S.E. 878; Martocello v. Martocello, 197 Ga. 629, 30 S.E.2d 108; Kirby v. Kent, 172 Miss. 457, 160 So. 569, 99 A.L.R. 1303; Ruger v. Heckel (1881), 85 N.Y. 483; Suiter v. Suiter, 74 Ohio App. 44, 57 N.E.2d 616.

Affirmed.
