James Ferguson v. Kelly Lee Ferguson

Case Number
M2001-01836-COA-R3-CV
Appellant, an inmate of the Tennessee Department of Correction currently confined at South Central Correctional Center in Clifton, Wayne County, Tennessee, appeals the dismissal by the trial court of his divorce complaint. His wife is a resident of Bristol, Virginia, and the parties separated in Cheatham County, Tennessee in 1987. The trial court dismissed the case for lack of venue. We affirm with a suggestion that the case be transferred to a court having divorce jurisdiction in Cheatham County, Tennessee, or such a court in the county where Appellant resided at the time he was first incarcerated in the Department of Corrections.
