The following excerpt is from Spellens v. Spellens, 317 P.2d 613, 49 Cal.2d 210 (Cal. 1957):
It follows from the estoppel that plaintiff was entitled to attorney's fees, costs and support during trial and on appeal (see Dietrich v. Dietrich, supra, 41 Cal.2d 497, 261 P.2d 269) as defendant is estopped to deny the validity of the marriage and the orders with respect thereto must be reversed. These matters will have to be determined by proceedings in the lower court.
