Text: (2) the declaratory judgment request raised a claim separate from claims for nondeclaratory relief relating to the same right (369 Ill. App. 3d at 259), making it appealable under Supreme Court Rule 304(a) (155 Ill. 2d R. 304(a)) (369 Ill. App. 3d at 257); (3) entry of declaratory judgment is improper if the order fails to satisfy the statutory requirements (369 Ill. App. 3d at 262); (4) the termination-of-controversy requirement in the statute was not satisfied here because, in the absence of an order in the dissolution proceeding, the declaratory judgment did not -4- resolve any actual claim for fees and support (369 Ill. App. 3d at 262); and (5) the improper entry of the declaratory judgment could not be overcome by the inclusion of the Rule 304(a) language that otherwise would have permitted interlocutory review of the trial court’s interpretation of the premarital agreement (see 369 Ill. App. 3d at 258-59). We discuss the propriety of these conclusions as necessary to review the issue raised on appeal.
