In Re The Marriage and Children of J.B and J.B.
Oct 12, 2018OUTCOME: The matter was remanded to Family Court where it proceeded to Final Hearing and resolved
Due to circumstances that were beyond the parties' control, the advancement of the divorce matter was delayed by both parties. The Family Court determined that the case had been on the docket too long ... and summarily dismissed the case without addressing the merits and without notice to the parties that the case was going to be dismissed. The matter was appealed to the WV Supreme Court of Appeals and the Family Court was reversed for failing to provide notice and a hearing to the parties prior to dismissing the action. http://www.courtswv.gov/supreme-court/memo-decisions/fall2018/17-0689memo.pdf
