Summary of this case from Martens v. Martens

In Closson v. Closson, 30 Wyo. 1, 215 P. 485, 29 A.L.R. 1371, it is held: "Failure of the published notice in a divorce proceeding to state that a disposition of the property would be asked for does not render void a decree making such disposition, although the statute requires the notice to contain a statement of the object and prayer of the petition, where the statutes governing divorce authorize the courts to settle all questions concerning the property and children of the parties."
