Description
In this appeal of a domestic relations action from the Circuit Court of Harrison County, we are asked to examine the jurisdiction of a circuit court to award alimony to the appellee and to equitably divide the parties marital property, when one party to the marriage had previously been granted a divorce decree in a foreign jurisdiction. The appellant, who obtained a divorce in a jurisdiction that could not assert personal jurisdiction over the appellee, contends that the foreign divorce decree voided West Virginias jurisdiction to adjudicate the parties property interests. In sum, the appellant argues that the foreign decree extinguished West Virginias personal jurisdiction over the appellant, and its subject matter jurisdiction over any interests incidental to the parties marriage.
