The plaintiff brought this action against her husband for divorce, alleging in her complaint as grounds for divorce, drunkenness, infidelity, cruelty and personal indignities rendering her life burdensome. For answer to the complaint, the defendant denied these allegations, and by way of cross-complaint and as grounds for divorce from his wife, alleged, in substance, extravagant habits, quarrelsome temperament of Mrs. Freebum, cruelty, and personal indignities rendering his life burdensome. Plaintiff, for reply, denied these allegations of the cross-complaint. Thereafter the plaintiff obtained leave and filed an amended complaint in which she waived her claim for divorce and prayed for separate maintenance on the ground that the parties could no longer live together as husband and wife. Upon these issues, a lengthy trial was had, and at the close of the evidence, the trial court concluded that the plaintiff was not entitled to separate maintenance; that the defendant was entitled to a decree of divorce from the plaintiff because the plaintiff had repeatedly and habitually subjected the defendant to indignities and cruelties rendering his life burdensome; and “that such incompatibility of temperament exists between plaintiff and defendant James L. Freeburn that they cannot live together as husband and wife. ’ ’ The trial court also found that the property of the parties was all community property and of the “value of about fifty thousand dollars ($50,000), and said value does not exceed sixty thousand dollars ($60,000).” The trial court thereupon awarded to the plaintiff a life estate in the residence owned by the parties in Seattle, and awarded her $250 *648per month, beginning- with the month of October, 1918, and continuing to the 20th day of March, 1920; and also required the defendant to deposit with the Bank of California, National Association, of Seattle, Washington, five railroad bonds of the par value of $1,000 each; that these bonds were to be held by the bank for a period of two years, the proceeds to be collected and paid to the plaintiff, and that, at the expiration of two years, the bonds themselves were to be delivered to the plaintiff for her sole use and benefit. The trial court also required the defendant to deposit with the Bank of California, during the year 1919, $4,000 in cash, to be invested in United States bonds for the benefit of the plaintiff, and to be held for a period of five years and then delivered to the plaintiff for her sole use and benefit. The court also required the defendant to deposit with the said bank, in the year 1920, the sum of $4,000 in cash, to be invested in bonds of the United States, and, at the expiration of eight years, to be delivered by the bank to the plaintiff for her sole use and benefit. The court also required the defendant to pay to the plaintiff $125 per month for the care and maintenance of an incompetent child of the parties; and, to secure this payment, required the defendant to deposit ten bonds of the par value of $1,000 each with the Bank of California, which bonds were to -be returned to the defendant upon full performance of the obligation to support the child. The plaintiff has appealed from that decree, and insists that no divorce should have been granted to the defendant, and that the court should have awarded separate maintenance to the plaintiff.
The record is a voluminous one. The parties had been married for a period of nearly twenty-four years. They had an incompetent child which required constant care and attention because it was unable to care for *649itself. For several years last past, the parties had not lived happily together. They had been separated at least once before, and many quarrels were detailed to the court. It is needless for us to enter into a discussion of the facts. We are convinced from an examination of the record that the trial court properly found that the appellant was quarrelsome and impatient with the respondent, and that such incompatibility of temperament exists between the appellant and the respondent that they can no longer live together as husband and wife. That being true, the court was fully justified in granting a divorce to the respondent.
The question of a proper division of the property, under the circumstances of the case, is not so easy of disposition. The trial court was evidently impressed with the fact that Mrs. Freeburn was very improvident in the use of money. He evidently thought it best to so arrange the property given to her that she could not use the principal immediately, but that it might be saved to her by placing it in the hands of a bank and the proceeds only given to her except at stated times. It was the opinion of the court that the dwelling house and the lots upon which it is located should be reserved for the use only of Mrs. Freeburn; that she should pay for the betterments, including taxes and assessments, and should have the use of the property during her lifetime; and that then it should descend to the child, or, in case of the death of the child, then to her heirs and to the heirs of Mr. Freeburn in equal shares. We think it is apparent that this dwelling-house may not be an asset for Mrs. Freeburn, for the upkeep and taxes and assessments which may hereafter be levied against it may cost more than the use of the property would be worth to her. We are of the opinion, therefore, that the trial court should have given the dwell*650ing-house and the lots upon which it is located to her in fee, that she may use it as she deems best.
At the trial of the case, it appeared that the property which the parties now own has been accumulated in the last four or five years. It appears that Mr. Free-bum has an advantageous contract with the Chicagoff Mining Company, operating in Alaska, by which he receives $200 per month as salary and seven and one-half per cent of the net dividends of that mine. These dividends, in the last four or five years, have yielded an income to Mr. Freeburn of something near $20,000 per year. This contract will expire in the year 1920. It is argued by the appellant that this contract may be renewed after the year 1920, and that Mrs. Freeburn should be entitled to a share of the proceeds of that renewal. It is mere speculation to suggest that this contract may be renewed upon the same or any terms whatever. But if it were to be renewed, it would be renewed long after this divorce and separation, and it is plain that the proceeds of such renewal would not be community property in any sense of the word. But we are of the opinion that, until the expiration of that contract in the year 1920, the proceeds are community proceeds, and that Mrs. Freeburn should share in those proceeds in addition to what the court has' seen fit to award her. We are of the opinion, therefore, that the trial court should have awarded her one-half the proceeds of that contract, after the deduction of the income tax exacted by the United States, for the last year of its existence, and that this would be a fair division of the property of the parties under all the circumstances of the case.
The judgment of the trial court is therefore modified to the extent of giving the appellant the residence property in fee as her separate property, and one-half of the proceeds of the contract between Mr. Freeburn and *651the Ohicagoff Mining Company for the last twelve months of its existence. In all other respects, the judgment is affirmed.
Appellant also argues that she is entitled to a larger attorney’s fee than was allowed by the court. We are satisfied that the court made a very liberal allowance on that issue, and we decline to disturb the judgment in that respect.
Appellant will recover her costs upon this appeal.
