In the case of Armijo v. Armijo, 1900, the U.S Supreme Court was tasked with determining whether a New Mexico court had jurisdiction over a divorce proceeding involving two residents of that territory who were married in Mexico and never lived as husband and wife within the United States. The couple's marriage took place in Chihuahua, Mexico but they separated shortly after due to alleged cruelty by Mr. Armijo towards his wife. Mrs. Armijo moved to New Mexico for her safety while Mr.Armijio remained in Chihuahua where he filed for divorce which was granted by Mexican authorities without notifying Mrs.Armijio about it. Mrs.Armijio then filed for alimony from her estranged husband at a district court in Bernalillo County, New Mexico which ruled against her on grounds that it lacked jurisdiction since their marriage occurred outside US borders and no marital relationship existed between them within its boundaries. The Supreme Court reversed this decision stating that once residency is established within a state or territory (as Mrs.Armijio did), courts have authority to adjudicate personal rights even if such relationships originated elsewhere thus granting Mrs.Armjio right to claim alimony from Mr.Armiho despite their foreign marital status.

The dissenting opinion in Armijo v. Armijo, 1900, is not available or does not exist. This case was decided per curiam (by the court as a whole) and no individual justice's opinions are recorded separately for this case. The Supreme Court ruled that it did not have jurisdiction over the matter because it involved domestic relations, an area of law traditionally reserved to the states. Therefore, there were no written dissenting opinions from any justices on record for this particular case.
