Gresham v. Gresham

Supreme Court of Alabama
Nov 21, 1946
27 So. 2d 876 (Ala. 1946)

Opinion

7 Div. 888.

November 21, 1946.

Appeal from Circuit Court, Cherokee County; W. J. Haralson, Judge.

Ross Blackmon, of Anniston, for appellant.

Reed Reed, of Centre, for appellee.


We agree with the trial court that the custody of the child should for the present remain with Mildred Gresham, appellee, the mother of a small boy. We do not think the evidence is at all satisfactory that she is not a fit and suitable person for his custody, but think that the court properly awarded the custody to her, stating that it was for the present.

Affirmed.

GARDNER, C. J., and LAWSON, and STAKELY, JJ., concur.
