Lurleen Jackson, Respondent v. Edward E. Jackson, Appellant

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the lower court's denial of the defendant's motion to set aside service, holding that the complaint's separation claim is a hybrid in rem/in personam action that permits constructive service under Civ. Prac. Act §232, subd. 5. The presence of a separate in personam claim to void the separation agreement does not deprive the court of jurisdiction over the separation claim.
