Description
1 This is an appeal from judgment upon "supplemental petition" of defendant Mary W. Thompson in divorce action, ordering plaintiff, Elton E. Thompson, to pay the sum of $50 a month as and for the support and maintenance of a child of the parties, which was born about six months after the divorce decree was entered. A brief history of the case is as follows: On July 7, 1947, a divorce decree was entered in the District Court of Payne County, Oklahoma, on petition of plaintiff, Elton E. Thompson, who was then a resident of Payne County, and waiver signed by defendant, Mary W. Thompson. The court found that "they have no children of this marriage". A child was born to defendant about six months after the decree was entered, which plaintiff has recognized as his, so that the paternity of the child is not in issue. Plaintiff contributed to the support of the child over the years in varying amounts. On May 20, 1957, defendant filed a "motion to modify" the original decree to provide for the support of the child, as alleged, which the court treated as a "supplemental petition". Notice was served on plaintiff at Poteau, Oklahoma, by the Sheriff of LeFlore County, and returned to and filed by the Court Clerk of Payne County, Oklahoma. Plaintiff objected to the jurisdiction of the court over his person and the subject matter, which was overruled. Upon trial, judgment was rendered, ordering plaintiff, Elton E. Thompson, to pay $50 a month for the support of such child commencing March 1, 1958.
