Rogers v. Rogers

OPINION

Justice GOLDBERG,

for the Court.

This case came before the Supreme Court on March 2, 2011, pursuant to an order directing the parties to appear and show cause why the issues raised in this appeal should not summarily be decided. The defendant, Robert F. Rogers (defendant or Robert), appeals from a Family Court judgment that dismissed the divorce complaint filed by his wife, the plaintiff, Barbara A. Rogers (plaintiff or Barbara), as well as the defendant’s counterclaim for divorce, for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction. For the reasons below, we vacate the judgment.
