Q. My husband has been de
clared permanently insane He
has been in' an institution for 20
years. I’m facing old age and
could marry. I understand the
laws of Pennsylvania make no
provision for such cases. Why
put a rope around a well per
son and have them drag .along
tied to one who will never be
well?
A. It is true that insanity is
not ground for divorce m Penn
sylvania. If you had grounds
for divorce against your hus
band~before he was declared in
sane, it is possible that you
might procure a divorce, pro
viding certain procedures are
followed and certain require
ments met.
However, the procurement of
a divorce under such circum
stances is' difficult at best- This
policy was established by the
Legislature in its enactment of
the Divorce Law and only fur
ther action by the ' Legislature
can effect a change.
Q. I have a baby and am not
married The baby carries my
name. Now I am to marry the
father of my baby and I would
like to know what I am sup
posed to do for the baby to have
his name. The' father's name
appears on the doctor’s birth
Certificate and the baby was
born here in Lancaster. F. J.
A. Your baby will be entitled
to his father’s name upon your
marriage. Proof "of the marriage
should be sent to, the State De
partment- of Health, at Harris
burg,, requesting them to amend
the -baby’s birth certificate. .The
baby’s name will thus be chang
ed to that of his father.
Q. How can I give a new idea
to a company on improving their
product and still protect my in
terest?
A It is suggested you arrange
a conference with an official of
the company, to be attended by
yourself and your attorney. An
agreement to protect your in
terest can-then be made con
currently with the presentation
of yottr idea.
