Syllabus

CIV.R. 60(B) – DIVORCE: The trial court did not err in granting defendant wife's Civ.R. 60(B) motion for relief from a default judgment for divorce where wife showed that she possesses a meritorious claim if relief is granted in that she may seek a divorce or annulment based on plaintiff husband's bigamy, extraordinary circumstances existed—competing foreign child custody decrees, plaintiff's undisclosed bigamous marriages, and ineffective service—justifying relief under Civ.R. 60(B)(5), and wife made the motion within a reasonable time.
