OPINION OF THE COURT

(May 16, 2012)

CABRET, Associate Justice.

Chrystalia Etienne appeals the Superior Court’s denial of her motion to vacate the divorce decree that legally ended her marriage to Ashley Etienne. Specifically, Chrystalia argues that the Superior Court should have vacated the divorce decree because, by failing to permit her the opportunity to retain counsel before issuing the divorce decree, it violated her due process rights. For the reasons that follow, we affirm the Superior Court’s October 18, 2010 divorce decree.
