Description
Per Curiam. Ruth H. Reed was divorced from Charles A. Reed in Dade County on April 29, 1949. A property settlement having been agreed upon was approved at the same time. Charles A. Reed has secured a Nevada divorce from Ruth H. Reed in November 1948. The Reeds moved to Miami in 1926 and by joint effort established a very successful sanitarium for alcoholics known as Miami Retreat Foundation, a Florida nonprofit corporation. December 12, 1949 the Attorney General filed a quo warrantor proceeding in the Circuit Court of Dade County seeking to annul the charter of Miami Retreat Foundation or Miami Retreat, Inc., on the ground that it was not a charitable corporation within the meaning of Chapter 617, F.S.A. Ruth H. Reed was joined as a party to this proceeding and filed a crossbill naming her husband and the corporate defendants as defendants. She collaterally attacked the property settlement made in the divorce suit and prayed for an adjudication of her rights in the assets of the corporations. The defense of estoppel and res adjudicata were interposed and adjudicated. On appeal to this Court we held that Mrs. Reed was estopped to assert the invalidity of the property settlement and dismissed her cross-bill along with the Attorney General's quo warrantor suit. Miami Retreat Foundation v. Ervin, Fla., 62 So.2d 748.
