Syllabus

SUBJECT-MATTER JURISDICTION — DECLARATORY JUDGMENT — ANNULMENT — RES JUDICATA: The general division of the court of common pleas lacked subject-matter jurisdiction to entertain plaintiff's request for a declaratory judgment that amounted to a request for an annulment where the domestic relations division of the court of common pleas has exclusive jurisdiction to grant annulments, and annulments represent a special statutory proceeding that cannot be circumvented through a declaratory-judgment action.
