Husband Demands Wages From Wife in Supreme Court
A Iowa case from Des Moines concerns Pr Peet who claims $300 for a year and a half of work on his wife’s separate farm property. The Ling county district court ruled he could not recover. Peet appeals, arguing husbands have rights to contracts on wives’ separate property, while the wife argues against enforcement of such payments. Attorneys discuss marital property rights, contracts, and public policy in this notable dispute over a husband’s wage claim on his wife’s business property.
