Marriage of Rodriguez
As the trial court noted, this family law case presents something of a procedural knot. As we explain more fully below, we agree with the trial court's resolution of the procedural tangle. In brief, the trial court, having ordered dismissal of the underlying dissolution proceeding, was thereafter without power to enter any substantive judgment. Thus the trial court properly denied appellant's motion to enter a judgment nunc pro tunc to the day before respondent's wife died.
