Valid foreign decree of divorce obtained by husband superseded and nullified wife's prior Illinois decree for separate maintenance, and thus terminated husband's duty of making payments for wife's support, on date that divorce decree was entered, as duty of husband to support and maintain wife ceased upon termination of marital relation.
