Opinion

30221.

SUBMITTED SEPTEMBER 8, 1975.

DECIDED SEPTEMBER 23, 1975.

Custody of child. Gwinnett Superior Court. Before Judge Merritt.

G. Hughel Harrison, for appellant.

Richardson, Chenggis Constantinides, Platon P. Constantinides, for appellee.


This is a child custody case. The parties were divorced in 1973 and the custody of the couple's three minor children was awarded to the mother. The father brought this suit for a change in custody and appeals from a judgment for the mother.

The trial court found that the evidence was not sufficient to warrant a change of custody. Under the "reasonable evidence rule" applicable in this type of case, the trial court did not abuse its discretion in refusing a change of custody. Kohler v. Kromer, 234 Ga. 117 ( 214 S.E.2d 551); Long v. Long, 233 Ga. 248 ( 210 S.E.2d 769); Robinson v. Ashmore, 232 Ga. 498 ( 207 S.E.2d 484).

Judgment affirmed. All the Justices concur.


SUBMITTED SEPTEMBER 8, 1975 — DECIDED SEPTEMBER 23, 1975.
