Eby v. Leenerts

OPINION

HUGHES, Justice.

This is an appeal by way of writ of error from a default judgment which affects the parent-child relationship of the parties herein. Defendant, former husband, Lee R. Eby, was served with process in Arizona and was thereby called to answer in a suit instituted by the former wife, Wanda Lee-nerts. The parties were previously divorced apparently in Texas, but no adjudication as to the parent-child relationship was made at that time.

We reverse and dismiss.

The trial court’s judgment recites that it had jurisdiction over the matter. We disagree.
