Domestic Relations: Dismissal of Petition-Finality of Judgments-Jurisdiction

Where an appellant’s petition for dissolution of marriage was filed in the trial court and dismissed without prejudice so that appellant was free to amend and refile, the appeal must be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction because the dismissal was not a final, appealable judgment.

Appeal is dismissed.
