Description
The major issue in Case No. 98-164 is whether the district court erred in setting aside its order, obtained upon the motion of Richard B. Black (Black), vacating a decree of divorce because Marieluise Jungbehrens De Black n/k/a Marieluise Hessel (Hessel) was unable to satisfy the jurisdictional requirements of Wyo. Stat. Ann. 20-2-107 (Lexis 1999). In Case No. 98-228, the dispute presented concerns the authority of the district court to award attorney fees and costs to Hessel. We are satisfied that this case can be affirmed on the merits, without doing any violence to the jurisdictional requirements of the statute, by following the rule articulated in McDougall v. McDougall, 961 P.2d 382, 384-85 (Wyo. 1998). The award of attorney fees and costs to Hessel is justified by the terms of a Separation Agreement that the parties entered into prior to the filing for divorce as well as Wyo. Stat. Ann. 20-2-111 (Lexis 1999). The Order Concerning Residency, the Order Concerning Motion for Summary Judgment, and the Order Awarding Attorneys Fees and Costs all are affirmed in every respect.
