Syllabus

On direct appeal from decree of divorce. Appellant's failure to ensure that the record contained a copy of the trial transcript required reviewing court to presume regularity of proceedings and overrule most of appellant's assigned errors. Appellant's answer to the complaint admitted the facts required for the trial court to exercise personal jurisdiction over him and subject-matter jurisdiction over the action, and principles of comity did not require the trial court to respect a foreign judgment that was not sought until after the local divorce action had already been commenced. Appellant's defense of insufficiency of service of process was forfeited by the failure to raise the defense in an answer or a motion to dismiss. Judgment affirmed.
