description: Prior History: Appeal from Superior Court, Walla Walla County. Divorce – Division of Property – Fraudulent Conveyance – Custody of Children – Under § 2007, Code of 1881, the court decreeing a divorce has power to make division of all the property of the parties, whether it is community or separate property, and the court will consider through whom the property was acquired merely as a circumstance to aid it in making an equitable division.Where a man, just prior to commencing a suit for divorce, conveys to his brother all his real and personal property, including his home, without receiving any cash payment therefor, or any written security, without any definite time of payment agreed upon, and dependent upon the grantee’s verbal promise to give him some money from time to time, the conveyance will be held fraudulent as against the wife.A decree awarding the custody of children to the wife, although her conduct may not be entirely blameless, will be upheld where it is shown that the husband is in the habit of getting under the influence of liquor, that he has treated his wife harshly and cruelly, sometimes striking her, and has made charges of adultery against her which he has failed to sustain.
