McConnell v. McConnell

Supreme Court of Georgia

231 Ga. 219 (Ga. 1973)

Opinion

28159.

SUBMITTED AUGUST 3, 1973.

DECIDED OCTOBER 5, 1973.

Divorce. Fulton Superior Court. Before Judge Langford.

Westmoreland, Hall, Bryan, McGee Warner, John L. Westmoreland, Jr., Edward E. Bates, Jr., for appellant.

Harland, Cashin, Chambers Parker, Harry L. Cashin, Jr., for appellee.


This appeal is from a judgment rendered in a separate hearing in a divorce and alimony case in which attorney fees were awarded to appellee. The enumerations of error complain that such award was excessive, but no transcript of the evidence at such hearing is in the record before this court. In such circumstances we must assume the trial court was authorized in its granting of the attorney fees and therefore we affirm. See Luke v. Luke, 159 Ga. 551 ( 126 S.E. 374); Addis v. Spain, 225 Ga. 609 ( 170 S.E.2d 585); Jones v. Jones, 224 Ga. 571 ( 163 S.E.2d 692).

Judgment affirmed. All the Justices concur.


SUBMITTED AUGUST 3, 1973 — DECIDED OCTOBER 5, 1973.
