Description
We approach a consideration of the controversy here in the spirit of liberality disclosed by our previous holdings in cases of this character, which favor the granting of a widows allowance, even though an agreement such as is here involved might be so construed as to justify a denial of the application. See: Wilson v. Wilson, 55 Colo. 70, 132 Pac. 67; Deeble v. Alerton, 58 Colo. 166, 143 Pac. 1096; Remington v. Remington, 72 Colo. 132, 209 Pac. 802; Brimble v. Sickler, 83 Colo. 494, 266 Pac. 497; Vincent v. Martin, 91 Colo. 106, 11 P.2d 1089; Williams v. Pollard, 101 Colo. 262, 72 P.2d 476. Counsel for both parties agree that the following language in Williams v. Pollard, supra, at page 266, correctly states the law applicable to the problem before us as settled in this jurisdiction: "The waiver cannot arise by presumption, assumption or construction. It must be in terms that do not admit of a doubt and clearly and definitely indicate a purpose to waive this specific statutory right."
