Marriage of Walther CA2/6
In April 2017 a stipulated final judgment of dissolution was entered dissolving the 18-year marriage of Howard Walther (appellant) and Kira Walther (respondent). Approximately three years later in March 2020, appellant filed the petition seeking to annul his already dissolved marriage. The petition seeks to nullify his dissolved marriage on the ground that respondent had committed fraud and bigamy. Proceeding in propria persona, appellant purports to appeal from a judgment of dismissal entered after the trial court had sustained respondent’s demurrer without leave to amend and had struck the petition as a “sham pleading.” We affirm because the stipulated final judgment of dissolution operates as res judicata on the issue of the legality of the parties’ marriage. It conclusively establishes that they were legally married and that the marriage cannot be annulled.
