The decree awarded Edward Coleman custody of his son. The defendant, Martha Coleman Butler, lived in Ashley County with the child. She did not reside nor was she served with summons in Pulaski County.\nThe appellants have offered no convincing argument or authority for their claim that this venue requirement is unconstitutional. For this reason we affirm the trial court\u2019s dismissal. See Widmer v. Widmer, 293 Ark. 296, 737 S.W.2d 457 (1987).\nAffirmed.",
