Beerup, Lincoln and Herndon represent plaintiff Caroline Beerup, who seeks a divorce from Stephen Beerup. Caroline Beerup claims that her husband "treated [her] with extreme cruelty and torture." Additionally, in 1850, Stephen Beerup moved to California leaving Caroline and the couple's six children with "no means of support."
