Text: On behalf of respondent, we are urged to consider deMarigny v. deMarigny, Fla., 43 So.2d 442, as authority that complainant cannot maintain the instant bill. That case is distinguished from the case at bar with respect to the residence of the complainant. In deMarigny, as we understand the opinion, the State of New York was, at and prior to the filing of the petition, the domicile of the petitioner, and she was not a resident of Florida, the state in which she brought her suit. In the case at bar, the bill alleges that complainant is a bona fide resident citizen of Jefferson County, Alabama. The decree appealed from is reversed and one here rendered sustaining the demurrer. The complainant is given thirty days from the date on which the certificate of the clerk of this court reaches the register of the Circuit Court of Jefferson County, in equity, to amend. We do not think Rollin W. Kip is a necessary party to this suit. He will not be bound by the decree. § 166, Title 7, Code 1940. Reversed, rendered, and remanded. LIVINGSTON, C. J., and SIMPSON and GOODWYN, JJ., concur.
