How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• explaining that a void judgment is one rendered by a court lacking subject matter or personal jurisdiction, or where “the decree itself is wholly outside of the pleadings”
• stating “Mother’s petition constitutes a collateral attack against the 2001 Decree because this is not a direct appeal of the 2001 Decree.”
• ―All decrees not thus appearing on their face to be void are absolutely proof against collateral attack, and no parol proof is admissible on such an attack to show any defect in the proceedings, or in the decree.‖
