Wife later filed a motion to set aside the default judgment, claiming it was void due to defective service of process. The trial court denied her motion. The Eastern District affirmed, holding that Wife was estopped from challenging the service of process because she had previously filed and litigated a motion to modify the judgment without raising any issues regarding service or jurisdiction.","primaryTopic":"civil-procedure","topicSlugs":["civil-procedure","family-law","divorce","appellate-procedure","standard-of-review"],"outcomeNorm":"vacated","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=214276","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/francis-wolo-respondent-v-christina-wolo-appellant-112428","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"family","label":"Family Law","href":"/practice-areas/family","score":32,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: family-law","topic: family-law","topic: divorce"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/family"},{"slug":"litigation","label":"Civil Litigation","href":"/practice-areas/litigation","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: civil-procedure","topic: appellate-procedure"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"appellant"}]}
