More on how this was screened
The confirmed treatment is listed below. The limitation concerns the finality of a divorce court's jurisdictional findings; later opinions continued to invoke Andrews's separate requirement of a genuine domicile.
19 later cases cite Andrews v. Andrews; 19 of those citations sat close to treatment language and were flagged for reading, and all of them have been read. Citations that did not sit near treatment language were not flagged and were not read one by one, so a court that weakened this case without using any of that language would not appear here.

The Andrews case was decided prior to the considerable modern development of the law with respect to finality of jurisdictional findings.21
