twist to the weird divorce laws of Kansas

other woman. The wife brought suit for
divorce and IL was granted. The Kansas
law provides that a divorced person cannot

of the divorce. The divorced wife did not
remarry, but she died just a few hours
before this six months period had elapsed
leaving a will in which she bequeathed all
her property TO her two small children. A
little later the children died also, and then
the divorced husband appeared on the

alleging that as she died few hours before
the expiration of the six months period he
was still her legal heir. The court held
that his claim was good and bestowed the
estate upon him.
