Syllabus

The domestic relations court did not err in denying appellant's post-decree motions to dismiss and for summary judgment in a divorce proceeding. Appellant challenged the court's jurisdiction based on her assertion that appellee had not been a resident of the state of Ohio for at least six months immediately preceding the filing of his complaint for divorce as required by R.C. 3105.03, but appellant admitted in her answer appellee's allegation that he had been a resident of the state for the statutorily required time. Appellant and her counsel also signed an agreed entry which affirmed the necessary jurisdictional facts. Her admission of facts sufficient to vest the trial court with jurisdiction precluded her post-judgment collateral attack.
