The case “Gallup v. Gallup” involves Everita Bray Gallup filing a petition for separate maintenance against her husband, Burton Augustus Gallup, in the Probate Court for Hampden County. The court found that Everita was living apart from her husband for justifiable reasons and granted her custody of their minor child, Mary Erminia Gallup, while ordering Burton to make support payments. Burton had previously filed for divorce in Nevada, which Everita did not contest, resulting in a default divorce decree. However, the Massachusetts court maintained jurisdiction over the custody and support matters. The court prohibited the removal of the child from the Commonwealth, and Everita’s appeal against this decision was dismissed, affirming the court’s decree.
