LACY PLANS TO
BAR CRUELTY AS
DIVORCE CAUSE
Term Made to Cover Trivial Acts
and Unwarranted DEGREES Are
Issued, He Says
FAVORS JAIL SENTENCE
IF GRIEVANCE is REAL
Injured Party Could Then Cut
Marital KnOt-WiIl Work
For New Law

A new law, so sweeping In its pro-
visions as to affect 40 per cent of oil
divorces granted In Michigan, and to
cut down the total by nearly % per
cent, Is in prospect, and was outlined
by Judge Lacy Of the domestic rela-
lions court, father of the suggested
law, Wednesday.
The law will deal with the so-called
acts OF extreme cruelty" as used as
basis for divorce proceedings, and
It's foundation rests in that II will do
away with such grounds, substituting
a law making such cruelty punishable
by a states prison sentence. Upon
divorce on the grounds OF the defen-
dant being felon.
In other words the law as suggest
ed by Judge Lacy will force proof of
real cruelty and OF such serious
character as TO justify a prison SEN
tence. Under the existing laws d.
vorces are forced by acts that in
themselves are mere annoyances.
Judge Lacy declared. Wednesday,
that after giving the matter much
thought, that the solution as outlined
above, would secure the results he
hoped for. There Is every chance for
such law TO be put on the statute
books through. its Endorsement by the
commission recently appointed by
Gov Ferris to modify and codify ex-
listing laws. according, to Its sponsor.
Alva Cummings Is chairman OF the
commission.
The above suggested law will be
brought TO the attention OF this body.
From knowledge OF She progressive
character OF the body, and the fact
that II recently asked the state bar
for suggestions. Judge Lacy bases
his belief that the commission viii
look with favor on his suggestion.
"Some OF the grounds OF extreme
cruelty as basis OF divorce that
have succeeded in securing decree
are ridiculous" said Judge Lacy. "A
man striking his wife with towel,
a man calling his wife damn fool.
pouting, refusing to speak--all have
been used as successful grounds. The
original intention OF the legislators
who passed the divorce laws never
intended this Nearly 40 per cent OF
all divorces are granted In this state
on grounds OF extreme cruelty, not
taking into account inidelity as com
ing under that head. do not believe
that In Is per cent of cases is divorce
really justified. Yet the LAW as II
now stands forces DEGREES. Families
are broken up. children suffer. society
Is Injured, and the laws OF the state
are fouted Under my suggestion
the party guilty of acts of actual
cruelty would pay for his or her mis-
conduct by not only loosing the mate
hut by serving prison sentence.
Thus In many cases the acts OF cruel
~ which are purposely executed 10
force suit for divorce would never
be attempted"
