Richard John Jolly v. Lynette Suzanne Jolly

Case Number
W2005-01845-COA-R3-CV

After a decree was entered in a divorce proceeding in Kansas, wife attempted to enforce the decree in Tennessee as it pertains to, inter alia, a division of marital property. The case reached the Supreme Court, and that Court determined that relief sought involved the enforcement of the Kansas decree, and that the decree had not been properly registered and notice given, required by the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act (UIFSA). The case was remanded to the trial court to insure that the registration and notice procedures of UIFSA were followed and that husband be allowed to present defenses thereto. The trial court made a division of the parties' marital property in Tennessee and allowed credit to wife for arrearage of child support decreed by the Kansas court.  Husband has appealed. We affirm.
