Summary

The Supreme Court of Alabama held that the Talladega Circuit Court, having first exercised jurisdiction over the divorce, has exclusive authority to resolve all related disputes, including the LLC management, and therefore stayed the Calhoun Circuit Court’s declaratory‑judgment action; it also found it lacked jurisdiction to review the Talladega Court’s contempt order via mandamus and transferred that petition to the Court of Civil Appeals. Justice Murdock concurred in part and dissented in part regarding the contempt‑jurisdiction issue.
