1. “The proceedings to obtain a divorce shall not be heard or considered nor a judgment of divorce entered except in open court. A chancellor may, in his discretion, hear or consider proceedings to obtain a divorce in vacation and make and enter judgments of divorce in the same manner as he may in other cases that may be heard in vacation pursuant to Section 9-5-91. Any judgment made or entered contrary to the provisions of this section shall be null and void.”

2. “Without waiving the procedural bar, we find that on the merits, Mr. Luse is correct in stating that there were no specific findings made in the chancellor’s order regarding the property distribution. However, there is a presumption that sufficient evidence was heard to sustain a decree once it has been entered. No evidence was presented by Mr. Luse to counter this presumption of correctness. Accordingly, we find no error.”
