STATE EX REL. DeMOSS, ETC.
v.
DAVIESS CIRCUIT COURT.
No. 30,289.

Supreme Court of Indiana.
Filed November 1, 1962.
Curtis V. Kimmell, and Kimmell, Kimmell & Funk, of Vincennes, for relator.
ACHOR, J.
Relator has filed a petition for writ of prohibition, directing the respondent to refrain from making any further orders in a certain cause of action entitled Jacob Lee DeMoss, By his Next Friend, Jacob L. DeMoss v. Patricia Ann DeMoss, wherein the trial court entered a decree granting an annulment of marriage to the plaintiff and thereafter entered an order for support and suit money pending appeal. It is relator's contention that the respondent was without jurisdiction to enter the order for support and suit money. This court issued a temporary writ.
*377 In support of the petition relator cites and relies upon the case of Ringenberg v. Ringenberg (1942), 110 Ind. App. 290, 38 N.E.2d 870. In that case the court held:
However, in the more recent case of State ex rel. Sims v. Hendricks C.C. et al. (1956), 235 Ind. 444, 446, 447, 134 N.E.2d 211, this court reached a different conclusion and overruled earlier cases which were in conflict therewith. In the latter case this court enunciated the law as follows:
The legislature has not seen fit to amend the statute [Acts 1939, ch. 160, § 1, p. 738, being § 3-1216, Burns' 1946 Repl.] since the above cited decision of this court. Therefore, upon the authority of State ex rel. Sims v. Hendricks C.C. et al., supra, the temporary writ heretofore issued is vacated and the petition for a permanent writ is denied.
Arterburn, C.J., not participating.
Bobbitt, Jackson and Landis, JJ., concur.
