Lavonia COVIN, Appellant, v. ESTATE OF Henry COVIN, through its Personal Representative, Delores Covin, Appellee.
No. 86-2541.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.
May 12, 1987.
Rehearing Denied June 16, 1987.
Sidney L. Syna, Miami, for appellant.
Howard M. Neu, North Miami, for appel-lee.
Before DANIEL S. PEARSON, FERGUSON and JORGENSON, JJ.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
There was no showing by clear and convincing evidence that the now-deceased petitioner, in an action to dissolve a marriage, failed to make the required diligent search and inquiry essential to the validity of constructive service. We, therefore, will not disturb the trial court's determination that the judgment of dissolution was properly entered. Gravel v. Bailey, 187 So.2d 667 (Fla. 3d DCA 1966).
Affirmed.
