Hill, Justice,
concurring specially.
I concur in the majority opinion of the court and wish to add only one observation.
The husband sought a divorce on the ground that the *640marriage was irretrievably broken. The wife sought a divorce on the ground of cruel treatment. Both parties wanted a divorce and the trial judge granted it.
The wife appeals, saying in effect that the trial judge erred in granting the divorce I wanted; I am entitled to my day in court. Here both parties seek a divorce but one also seeks first the right to fight.
In my view, the function of the judiciary is to provide forums for the resolution of disputes, not to provide forums for disputes where both parties seek the same resolution. I therefore concur in the majority opinion.
