Opinion
31659.
SUBMITTED OCTOBER 29, 1976.
DECIDED DECEMBER 1, 1976.
Garnishment; constitutional question. Fulton Civil Court. Before Judge Moran.
J. Timothy Lawler, for appellant.
Gettle Fraser, Sherman C. Fraser, Linus Fencle, for appellees.
The husband was granted a motion to dismiss the garnishment, filed against him by his wife to collect a $16,393 judgment for arrearages in child support, on the ground that the 1976 post-judgment garnishment Act is unconstitutional. Ga. L. 1976, p. 1609 (Code Ann. Ch. 46-1). The garnishment does not appear to have been signed by a judicial officer. On the authority of City Finance Co. v. Winston, 238 Ga. 10, decided October 19, (1976), we affirm. Judgment affirmed. All the Justices concur, except Ingram and Hall, JJ., who dissent.
