MAHAN VS. MAHAN

Plaintiff alleges failure to provide, called her vile names and told her that a woman was nothing but an expense to a man. She alleges that he struck her, strangled her and choked her. She also alleges that he confessed his infidelity. Plaintiff wants the custody of their two children, $3,000 alimony and $5 per week for the children.
