Supreme Court of Georgia

227 S.E.2d 265 (Ga. 1976)

Opinion

31313.

SUBMITTED JULY 2, 1976.

DECIDED JULY 15, 1976.

Modification of alimony. Floyd Superior Court. Before Judge Frazier.

Robert J. Evans, for appellant.

James A. Robbins, Jr., for appellee.


Under the decision in Knox v. Knox, 225 Ga. 481 ( 169 S.E.2d 805) (1969); Potts v. Potts, 229 Ga. 827 ( 194 S.E.2d 471) (1972); and White v. White, 233 Ga. 289 ( 210 S.E.2d 817) (1974), a substantial decrease in the husband's income or financial status since the date of the divorce decree may warrant a decrease of alimony and child support payments but does not demand it.

The judgment of the trial court refusing to modify the alimony and child support payments was not error.

Judgment affirmed. All the Justices concur.


SUBMITTED JULY 2, 1976 — DECIDED JULY 15, 1976.
