Sheryl Norris, Appellant v. Ashley Davis, Appellee — Baker, J., Dissenting

Summary

Justice Baker dissented from the majority's affirmance, concluding that the family-settlement order was void because the circuit court failed to investigate whether the compromise benefited the minor heirs. She reasoned that a void order could be challenged notwithstanding res judicata and that the court's failure to investigate the minors' interests required remand. The dissent would have remanded for further consideration consistent with that reasoning.
