Description
The circuit court of Kane County awarded certain property to petitioner, Betty J. Wilson. Respondent, Jay Wilson, appeals, contending that petitioner's attempted service by publication was defective and thus the court had no jurisdiction to enter such an order. Although no appellate brief was filed by the petitioner, we may decide the merits of the appeal. First Capitol Mortgage Corp. v. Talandis Construction Corp. (1976), 63 Ill.2d 128; Haeflinger v. City of Wood Dale (1984), 129 Ill. App.3d 674. Petitioner failed a petition for dissolution of her marriage to respondent on December 1, 1981, in the circuit court of Du Page County. Apparently the only substantial marital asset was the marital residence located at 1135 McDonald Avenue, Aurora, Illinois, which was held in the name of the respondent only. On January 20, 1982, respondent transferred his interest in the property to Mary Louise Kennedy, the secretary of his attorney, John Plain. The Du Page County circuit court subsequently enjoined Kennedy from further transferring or otherwise affecting title to the property. It also purported to enjoin respondent, although he had never been served with notice of the dissolution action.
