Boslaugh, J.,
dissenting.
Although I agree with many of the statements contained in the opinion of the court, I think little is gained by reversing the *729judgment and remanding the cause with directions to dismiss.
There appears to be a genuine controversy between the parties as to the meaning of some of the language of the decree in the dissolution proceeding. I think the better rule is that such a controversy can be resolved by declaratory relief. See 26 C. J.S. Declaratory Judgments § 43 (1956).
The result which the court has reached in this case probably will occasion a further expenditure of judicial time and energy to settle a dispute which already has consumed more judicial time and energy than it merits. I would affirm the judgment.
Hastings, J., joins in this dissent.
