¶1dissenting. Neither appellant nor appellee has ever been a resident of Washington County even though appellee alleged he was in his complaint. Because I believe extrinsic fraud occurred in appellant’s obtaining the divorce, I cannot agree that venue existed in the Washington County Chancery Court, much less that it could be waived. See Murphy v. Murphy, 200 Ark. 458, 140 S.W.2d 416 (1940). I would reverse and dismiss.
