Description
The complaint filed by plaintiff is labeled as follows: "Complaint Under Reciprocal Support." In this ineptly drawn and rather confusing instrument it is alleged in substance that plaintiff and defendant were once husband and wife; that in 1944 a divorce decree was entered in a district court of the State of Texas; that two children were born as the issue of the marriage, one of whom was born following the divorce decree; that the said children (aged 16 and 15 respectively) were "unemancipated and under the care and control of the plaintiff"; that they reside with the plaintiff in Arapahoe county; that "the said minor children and the plaintiff herein are in need of [and] entitled to support from the defendant under the statutory and common law, and the Reciprocal Support Act of the State of Colorado by virtue of the Order of the [Texas court] * * * requiring the defendant to pay into the court the sum of Thirty Dollars ($30.00) per month"; that defendant "has failed in his duty to support his aforesaid minor children by wilful refusal to properly provide for them since the date of said Order of Court and fifteen years have elapsed and the plaintiff is entitled to judgment by virtue of said decree in the amount of Five Thousand Five Hundred and Fifty Dollars * * *"; that defendant is able-bodied and working in Denver where he resides; and that "the aforementioned dependent children are in need of support from said defendant herein in an amount not less than $100.00 per month." The complaint contains the following statement: "* * * these proceedings are brought under the Reciprocal Support Laws of Colorado which are similar to such support laws in the State of Texas." The foregoing quotations and summary are sufficient to explain why we have described the complaint as an "ineptly drawn and confusing instrument."
