162 S.E.2d 425 (Ga. 1968)

Opinion

24620.

SUBMITTED MAY 13, 1968.

DECIDED MAY 23, 1968.

Divorce. Bacon Superior Court. Before Judge Hodges.

Summer Boatright, J. Laddie Boatright, for appellant.

Leon A. Wilson, II, for appellee.


1. Where, as in the case sub judice, the plaintiff's and defendant's grounds for divorce were based on cruel treatment and there was evidence to support the allegations of each respective petition, the trial court erred in failing to charge, even without request, in terms of Code § 30-109 that, if the jury found both parties guilty of like conduct, the jury should refuse a divorce to either of them. Moon v. Moon, 216 Ga. 627 ( 118 S.E.2d 473); Brackett v. Brackett, 217 Ga. 84 ( 121 S.E.2d 146); and McCartney v. McCartney, 217 Ga. 200 ( 121 S.E.2d 785).

2. The other enumerations of error have been carefully considered and show no reversible error.

Judgment reversed. All the Justices concur.

SUBMITTED MAY 13, 1968 — DECIDED MAY 23, 1968.
