Covin v. Estate of Covin
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided May 12, 1987 · Ferguson, Jorgenson, Pearson
507 So. 2d 675; 12 Fla. L. Weekly 1235; 1987 Fla. App. LEXIS 8211 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Covin v. Estate of Covin

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

There was no showing by clear and convincing evidence that the now-deceased petitioner, in an action to dissolve a marriage, failed to make the required diligent search and inquiry essential to the validity of constructive service. We, therefore, will not disturb the trial court’s determination that the judgment of dissolution was properly entered. Gravel v. Bailey, 187 So.2d 667 (Fla. 3d DCA 1966).

Affirmed.
