        "text": "David Newbern, Justice.\nThis is an appeal from a court\u2019s decision rendered on a counter-claim. Because no decision was made on the underlying claim, we must dismiss the appeal pursuant to Ark. R. Civ. P. 54(b).\nThe appellant, Margie Katrina McCormac Lewis, and the appellee, Michael Bryan McCormac, were divorced. Mr. Mc-Cormac sought to have Mrs. Lewis held in contempt for violation of his right to visit a child born to Mrs. Lewis during their marriage. Mrs. Lewis counter-claimed for a declaratory judgment that Mr. McCormac was not the father of the child and sought cancellation of all previous orders regarding visitation and support.\nThe chancellor entered an order on Mrs. Lewis\u2019s petition to deny Mr. McCormac\u2019s paternity. The petition was denied on the ground of res judicata. The chancellor wrote that the issue was controlled by the divorce decision in which Mr. McCormac\u2019s paternity of the child was determined.\nThe record contains no decision on the matter of contempt. This is a case in which there were multiple claims. Rule 54(b) provides that, where there has been a decision of fewer than all claims presented, there is no final decision unless the court has directed \u201centry of a final judgment as to one or more but fewer than all of the claims . . . only upon an express determination that there is no just reason for delay. . . .\u201d That procedure was not followed. The appeal is dismissed. Wylie v. Tull, 295 Ark. 481, 749 S.W.2d 325 (1988); Tackett v. Robbs, 293 Ark. 171, 735 S.W.2d 700 (1987).\nAppeal dismissed.",
