I concur in the main opinion insofar as it reverses the judgment of the Madison Circuit Court ("the trial court"). However, I would have decided the case on the merits instead of remanding the case with instructions to the trial court to conduct a hearing on the postjudgment motion filed by Ashley S. Carden. See J.W. v. C.B., 56 So.3d 693 n. 2 (Ala.Civ.App. 2010); Sullivan Wills Real Estate,L.L.C. v. Cruce, [Ms. 2090112, April 23, 2010]___ So.3d ___ (Ala.Civ.App. 2010); Hornady Truck Lines, Inc. v.Howard, 985 So.2d 469 (Ala. Civ.App. 2007); Hall v.Hall, 895 So.2d 299, 305 (Ala.Civ.App. 2004); and Hullv. Hull, 887 So.2d 904, 910 (Ala.Civ.App. 2003).
