GABOURY V. GABOURY
988 A.2d 672 (2009)
NATURE OF THE CASE: W sought review of an order determining that the court had
jurisdiction to dissolve the parties' marriage but lacked the necessary personal
jurisdiction over H to adjudicate related economic claims.
FACTS: H and W met on an Internet site. H was living in Texas, and W was living in
Canada. The parties moved from their respective locations to Pennsylvania and married a year
later on April 21, 2005. They resided in Pennsylvania in rental housing until H's job
transfer in December 2006, when they relocated to Wisconsin and lived in a rented apartment.
The separated and W moved to Beaver County, Pennsylvania, in August 2007. H remained in
Wisconsin. W filed a divorce complaint in Pennsylvania on March 12, 2008. W set forth
economic claims for equitable distribution, counsel fees, expenses, spousal support, alimony
pendente lite, alimony, and permanent alimony. H challenged the court's personal
jurisdiction over him. The trial court concluded that it had jurisdiction to dissolve the
bonds of matrimony, but it did not have the requisite personal jurisdiction over H to decide
any economic claims. It granted the divorce and W appealed.
