quasi in rem action

quasi in rem action
An action which, although conventional in the sense of having named persons as parties, has the direct object of reaching and disposing of property or of some interest therein; an action in which the judgment deals with the status, ownership, or liability of particular property and operates only as between the particular parties to the proceeding. 1 Am J2d Actions § 41. An action in which the adjudication, involves a thing in the sense of a personal status, such as an action for divorce, 24 Am J2d Div & S § 245, or a proceeding for the adoption of a child, 2 Am J2d Adopt § 48, but also involves an element not found in an action strictly in rem where parties are not designated and the adjudication involves only a thing. Joiner v Joiner, 131 Ga 217, 62 SE 182.
