Syllabus

Void voidable marriage license jurisdiction good faith and substantial compliance passive mortgage premarital asset judgment entry magistrate's decision. - Trial court did not err in determining that it had jurisdiction to determine Wife's complaint for divorce because the parties' marriage, which took place in Florida, was voidable rather than void where the parties acted in good faith and substantial compliance with Florida law Husband's labors regarding a premarital asset were not passive because his efforts during the marriage allowed the property to be maintained and the mortgage paid down therefore the trial court properly considered the reduction in the mortgage to be marital property trial court did not abuse its discretion in adopting Wife's proposed final judgment entry even though it did not mirror the language in the magistrate's recommended decision.
