1Opinion of the Court
Weltner, Justice.
The wife filed a voluntary dismissal of her divorce and custody action on Friday, November 13, 1981, two days after the trial court had announced its ruling as to temporary custody of the children of the parties, but before an order was signed. The husband had appeared at the rule nisi hearing, and was awarded temporary custody of two children, but did not file an answer and counterclaim until Monday, November 16.
The husband moved to vacate the dismissal, contending inter alia that he had no notice of the dismissal until after he filed his response to the complaint.
