What is the effect of the res judicata effect of a judgment that invalidates a spouse's claim against her?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Marriage of Doud, In re, 181 Cal.App.3d 510, 226 Cal.Rptr. 423 (Cal. App. 1986):
For the reasons previously advanced we conclude the nullification of the res judicata effect of the judgment here is not unreasonable. "[T]he state's 'paramount interest' in the equitable distribution of marital property upon dissolution of the marriage points to section 5124 as proper exercise of the police power." (Mueller v. Walter, supra, 167 Cal.App.3d at p. 609, 213 Cal.Rptr. 442.)
