Lewis v. Lewis

Facts:

Holdings:

            The Virginia Court made the following holding:

  • Where the state of a plaintiff's domicile is not also the matrimonial domicile, a decree of divorce based upon substituted service and without personal jurisdiction over a defendant, although enforceable in the jurisdiction where rendered, is not entitled to obligatory enforcement in other states in virtue of the full faith and credit clause of the Federal Constitution, although the state courts are not prevented from recognizing such decrees on principles of comity if they see fit, and will do so, as a rule, unless contrary to public policy or to good morals.
