Declaratory Judgment
A judgment entered without jurisdiction is void and a judgment void can be challenged at any time. Rosenberg v. Jackson, 247 N.W.2d 216, 218 ( Iowa 1976).
A void judgment is no
judgment at all, and no rights are acquired by virtue of its entry
of record. Williamson v. Williamson, 179 Iowa 489,
494, 161 N.W. 482, 485 (1917).
A judgment that lacks in
personam jurisdiction over a necessary party is subject to a
declaratory ruling that the judgment is void on collateral attack.
Marshfield Homes, Inc. vs. Eichmeier, 176 N.W.2d 850,
851 ( Iowa 1970).
