Facts
Eve Lynn Recknor was formerly married to Gerard Cautero. On May 4, 1965, a complaint for divorce was filed in Los Angeles by Eve Lynn Cautero against Gerard Cautero, on the ground of extreme cruelty.
Eve and Ralph Recknor were married on May 19, 1965.
On October 4, 1965, an interlocutory judgment was entered in the Cautero divorce action.
On July 6, 1966, the Cautero divorce became final.
On November 26, 1980, Eve Lynn petitioned for dissolution of her marriage to Ralph W. Recknor. She requested custody of their two children, child support, spousal support, and attorney fees.
On March 30, 1981, Ralph filed an “amended response” and requested dissolution on the ground of irreconcilable differences and a declaration of nullity of the marriage. The nullity was requested on the ground that the marriage was void because on the date of marriage, neither the interlocutory nor the final decree had been entered dissolving Eve’s prior marriage, and on the ground that the marriage was voidable because of a prior existing marriage.
