Holding

In this divorce case, we reexamine the doctrine that one spouse is ordinarily not guilty of legal desertion in separating from the other while a divorce suit is pending between them. Specifically, we must decide whether a divorce suit was frivolous and instituted as a sham to shield the complainant from a charge of desertion.
