Petition #20882808

Abstract

Victorine Ledeé, a free man of color, seeks a divorce from his wife, Honorine Matté, a free woman of color. Ledeé represents that he has been married to Honorine for five or six years and, during that time, he has "always conducted himself with property" and furnished his wife with "all those necessaties which his limited means would permit." However, in the past six months, Honorine has repeatedly committed adultery with "many different men and particularly with François Simien also a free man of color." On these grounds, Ledeé seeks a divorce and custody of the couple's two minor children.

Result: Dismissed.
