In re Estate of Boss

2 Citing cases

  1. Floyd v. Floyd

    291 Ga. 605 (Ga. 2012)   Cited 15 times
    Holding the trial court erred by improperly amending a divorce decree when it ordered husband to convey certain property to wife when the divorce decree did "not specify that the marital residence [was] to be conveyed to [wife] if [husband] fail[ed] to comply with his obligation to either refinance or list it" (which he did)

    Because Livia failed to raise her additional claim of error in a cross-appeal, that additional claim of error is not properly before us, and we will not consider it. In re Estate of Boss, 293 Ga.App. 769, 770–771(1), 668 S.E.2d 283 (2008). 1.

  2. Gowen Oil Co. v. Abraham

    In evaluating the reasonableness of the fees incurred, Georgia cases consider a reasonable number of hours expended multiplied by a reasonable rate. See In re Estate of Boss, 668 S.E.2d 283, 285 (Ga. Ct. App. 2008) (affirming fee award based on reasonable rate times reasonable hours); Bienert v. Dickerson, 624 S.E.2d 245, 251 (Ga. Ct. App. 2005) (same). Furthermore, Georgia courts recognize the usefulness of the factors set forth in Johnson.
