Divorce — Permanent Alimony — Pleading — Jurisdiction.— The provision for permanent alimony in an action for a divorce brought by the wife, is ordinarily an incident to the judgment for divorce, and the jurisdiction of the court to make such provision is not dependent upon averments in the complaint as to the husband’s resources.

Id.— Case in Equity—Charge upon Real Estate of Husband — Construction of Code.—An action for a divorce is treated as a case in equity; and the provision in section 140 of the Civil Code, that “the court may require the husband to give reasonable security for providing maintenance, .... and may enforce the same by appointment of a receiver, or by any other remedy applicable to the case," is not to be construed as limiting the equity jurisdiction of the court to make the maintenance a lien or charge upon the real estate of the husband.

Id.—Divorce for Extreme Cruelty—Charge upon Community Property.—Where a divorce is granted to the wife for extreme cruelty of the husband, the court is authorized by section 146 of the Civil Code to assign the community property of the parties in such proportion as under the circumstances may seem just; and, having power under that section to assign it to the wife absolutely, it has the included power to charge a lien thereon in favor of the wife.

Id.—Duration of Lien—Limitation—Judgment Lien—Period for Execution—Installments of Alimony.—The lien established by a judgment of divorce in favor of the wife upon the real estate of the husband for installments of alimony does not derive its force from section 671 of the Code of Civil Procedure, and does not expire within the two years limited for the enforcement of a judgment lien; nor is its enforcement limited by the period of five years from the entry of judgment, for the issuance of execution, under section 681 of the same code, but the court having power to provide a monthly allowance of alimony to be paid during the life of the wife, the real property charged with its payment may be sold to satisfy the lien for any unpaid installments accruing after the lapse of five years from the entry of the judgment, the right of execution for which does not accrue until the installments respectively fall due.

Id.—Decree for Permanent Alimony—Husband’s Ownership of Property.—It is not essential to a decree for permanent alimony for the future maintenance of the wife by the husband, that he should then be the owner either of separate or of community property to which to resort to enforce payment thereof.
