Skouri v. Skouri

  • 2025 Ohio 769

Syllabus

Res judicata precludes appellant from challenging the trial court's personal jurisdiction over him. Appellant previously raised the same issue in an unsuccessful Civ.R. 60(B) motion. The record reflects, however, that appellant was not served with an April 9, 2024 notice of the trial court's intent to emancipate the parties' oldest child and to order him to pay a child-support arrearage. The lack of service of that notice deprived appellant of an opportunity to object to those proposed actions. As a result, the trial court's subsequent May 13, 2024 judgment entry emancipating the child and ordering appellant to pay the arrearage will be reversed and the case will be remanded to give appellant a chance to object to the arrearage. Judgment reversed and remanded.
