Boyce v. Boyce

Supreme Court of Georgia
Feb 22, 1990
259 Ga. 831 (Ga. 1990)

Opinion

S89A0410.

DECIDED FEBRUARY 22, 1990.

Modification of child support. Fulton Superior Court. Before Judge Langham.

Day, Royal Drahos, Keith A. Royal, for appellant.

Davis, Matthews Quigley, Richard W. Schiffman, Jr., for appellee.


We granted an application to appeal to consider whether the trial court erred in dismissing this case under OCGA § 9-10-91 (5). Because the nonresident ex-husband has lived out of state since 1982 and has been in full and complete compliance with the Georgia divorce decree, we hold that the trial court properly dismissed the ex-wife's action for modification of child support. Medeiros v. Tarpley, 258 Ga. 372 ( 369 S.E.2d 482) (1988).

Judgment affirmed. All the Justices concur, except Hunt, J., who concurs in the judgment only.

DECIDED FEBRUARY 22, 1990.
