Show Money Troubles Foremost In Florida Divorce Cases MIAMI. Money, or rather the lack of it, is the most common cause of marital troubles, according to Circuit Judge Paul D. Barnes of Miami, and he should know, for last year he handled 4,000 divorce cases. "Willingness to live within income-is income-is the most important thing I can say to young married couples," Judge Barnes said. "The tendency to exceed income seems to be a fashion of the times, but it's probably prob-ably the most disastrous habit married couples can fall into." Judge Barnes said he believed Florida's five-year-old 90-day residence resi-dence law for those seeking divorces had made Miami "a southern Reno." Figures bear out his belief because divorces filed in Miami during 1940 outnumbered those in the Nevada city. |
