McGivern, J. P. (concurring).
I concur in the result and in the determination of the majority opinion that the record supports the conclusion that defendant husband had a bona fide domicile in Nevada for a sufficient period before his divorce decree was handed down, and that the marriage between plaintiff and defendant husband was effectually terminated by the Nevada divorce decree. (See Cook v. Cook, 342 U. S. 126; Matter of Newcomb, 192 N. Y. 238; Matter of Best, 20 A D 2d 743.) Nor can X find from this record that his subsequent activities have impugned that decree or our recognition of it. (See Sorrentino v. Mierzwa, 25 N Y 2d 59, 65.)
