Syllabus

The Greene County Common Pleas Court, General Division, did not err in dismissing, under Civ.R. 12(B)(1), appellant's complaint against the appellee, her ex-husband, alleging fraud and spoliation of evidence claims predicated on purported concealment of assets during the parties divorce in the Domestic Relations Division several years earlier. The Greene County Common Pleas Court, Domestic Relations Division, had exclusive statutory jurisdiction over the subject matter of her complaint. Even assuming, arguendo, that the general division and the domestic relations division shared concurrent jurisdiction, the trial court properly found that the jurisdictional-priority rule favored the domestic relations division. Judgment affirmed.
