be
levied upon by attachment and held to satisfy the decree of the court.
[Sec.3418.] Attachment may be allowed without bond and it may be granted in
a suit to annul an illegal marriage as well as in one for divorce. It
may be levied on the homestead as well as other property. The
disposition of property by the defendant may also be restrained by
injunction.

[Sidenote: Showing.]

In making such orders, the court or judge shall take into consideration
the age, condition, sex and pecuniary condition of the parties, and such
other matters as are deemed pertinent, which may be shown by affidavits
in addition to the pleadings or otherwise, as the court or judge may
direct. [Sec.3419.]

[Sidenote: Alimony, Custody of children, Changes.]

When a divorce is decreed, the court may make such order in relation to
the children, property, parties, and the maintenance of the parties as
shall be right and proper. Subsequent changes may be made by the court,
in these respects when circumstances render them expedient. [Sec.8420.] In
granting a divorce, full power is given the court over the questions of
permanent alimony and custody of children, and the amount of alimony
will be determined by a careful consideration of the circumstances of
the parties. The allowance is usually for a certain sum of money, but
the court may set apart a specific portion of property as alimony. Only
in rare cases and under peculiar circumstances will alimony be granted
to the party in fault. A judgment for alimony may be made a lien upon
specific property, and the court may declare it a lien on the homestead.
The court granting a divorce and alimony retains jurisdiction of the
same, and upon a subsequent change in the circumstances of the parties,
may modify or change the decree in relation to alimony and custody of
children as may seem just and proper and for the best interests of all
parties. A suit for alimony without divorce may be brought, where the
wife has been compelled to leave her husband on account of misconduct on
his part justifying the separation. The disposition of the children is
entirely within the discretion of the court, and the custody may be
given to either party or may be taken from both and given to a guardian,
if it can be shown that neither parent is a proper person to care for
them. The best good of the child will be the first and most important
consideration in determining to whom the custody shall be given.
