This is an appeal from a decree of the chancery court of Pulaski County annulling a temporary allowance of $75 per month in favor of appellant against appellee for the support and maintenance of herself and their child, which the chancery court rendered upon complaint and notice on the 28th day of July, 1926, *1112and dismissing her complaint alleging sufficient grounds for alimony for the support and maintenance of herself and their child. The decree which was annulled also restrained appellee from selling or disposing of a certificate of stock in the Arkansas Abstract Guaranty Company until he should give bond to perform the decree of the court requiring him to pay alimony.
A response was filed-to the motion to set aside the decree. The issues joined in the motion and response were submitted to the court for adjudication upon the following agreed statement of facts, filed October -7, 1926:
“In the Pulaski Chancery Court. — Ida M. Letzkus, plaintiff, v. Anton Letzkus, defendant.
“The parties in the above entitled and numbered cause agree on the 'following statement of facts, upon which judgment shall be rendered therein, the controversy being submitted to the court upon same as'such agreed statement of facts:
“That Ida M. Letzkus of Little Rock, Arkansas, instituted a suit for maintenance and support from Anton Letzkus, her husband, alleging that he left and abandoned the plaintiff, and for other causes. That the defendant was duly served with process and a notice for temporary maintenance, and also for an injunction restraining the defendant from assigning and transferring his certificate of stock in the Arkansas Abstract and Guaranty Company, of Little Rock, Arkansas. On the-day of August the matter came on to be heard, decreed, ordered, and directed before final hearing that the defendant, Anton Letzkus, do pay to the plaintiff on the 28th day of each month $75 as temporary support for herself and child, and the further sum of $50 as attorney fee and $15 court costs. That the defendant has paid to the plaintiff the first month’s support and the attorney fees. The court further ordered and enjoined the defendant. from selling or transferring his certificate of stock, unless security was given to pay for the monthly support *1113of the plaintiff and her child. That, after said temporary-order was entered, the plaintiff, Ida M,. Letzkus, continued to live at her home at 1411 Center Street, Little Rock, Arkansas. During his absence she caused locks to he changed on the premises so that she could have exclusive possession of the premises and be free of the harassment of her husband. That thereafter and before the final hearing1 the defendant entered said premises against the Avill of the plaintiff, and would not leave, but continued to live there, and during that time the plaintiff and defendant did not live together as husband and wife, hut did live in the same house, hut that she had a small and separate room in the house for herself and child; that the defendant did not eat at the home of the plaintiff, and that they did not converse with each other, but the defendant did sleep in his room in the residence, against the wishes of the plaintiff, but which she could not control. That, a short time after the order was rendered for support and after the injunction was issued, as stated, the defendant filed a motion in the chancery court to set aside the temporary order, without giving written notice, although the decree stated that he was served with summons and notice for support and injunction. That no answer was filed in said action denying' anything stated in the complaint, and more than twenty days had elapsed since the service of summons and notice. That the court dismissed the complaint of the plaintiff on account of the fact that the defendant, since the said order, lived on the premises, under the conditions as herein stated, and the plaintiff lived in a small room on the premises with her child, and never spoke to each other; and the court further stated that, although the defendant failed to support the plaintiff, no action can he had against a defendant if he lived at the home of the plaintiff, after the action was instituted by the plaintiff, and that she must not live in the same house with her husband before she could ask for support for herself and child through the courts of Arkansas, under the action of maintenance and support. Witness our hands by the attorneys of record this the 25th day of *1114August, 1926. Prayed an appeal to the Supreme Court of Arkansas, which was granted.

It appears from the agreed statement of facts that the decree annulling the order for temporary alimony and restraining the sale of appellee ’s certificate of stock in the abstract company until he should give a bond to perform the order of the court, and in dismissing appellant’s complaint, was made upon the ground that the parties had been residing* in the same house since the rendition of the original decree. Living under the same roof or in the same house by consent, either express or implied, would warrant a court in finding that the charge made the basis for a claim for alimony had been condoned ; but, where a husband entered and remained in his wife’s home by force, occupying a room therein separate and apart from her and not conversing or eating with her, as the record reflects was done in this case, there was no condonation of the charge. The trial court erred therefore in annulling the original decree on the ground that the parties had resided together since the rendition thereof in the same house, or under the same roof. It affirmatively appears that their marital relations were not resumed, and that appellant did not consent or acquiesce in appellee entering her home and remaining therein. According to the agreement of facts, he entered and remained in appellant’s home by force.
On account of the error indicated the decree is reversed, and the cause is remanded for further pro eeedings not inconsistent with this opinion.
