Key legal question
Whether the state constitutional complaint still had an актуal and practical interest after the divorce judgment and settlement
Extracted holding
No. After the divorce was decided and the ancillary consequences were settled, there was no longer any current practical interest in reviewing the procedural complaints.
Extracted reasoning
Federal review requires a current and practical interest that must exist until judgment. That interest existed when the complaint was filed, but lapsed before the Federal Supreme Court decided the case because the divorce proceedings had meanwhile ended definitively.
