Vick v. Vick

Supreme Court of Georgia

195 S.E.2d 399 (Ga. 1973)

Opinion

27593.

ARGUED DECEMBER 11, 1972.

DECIDED JANUARY 4, 1973.

Divorce; child custody. Cook Superior Court. Before Judge Lott.

Jack W. Carter, for appellant.

Edward Parrish, for appellee.


The sole issue presented in this case is whether the trial court can alter a judgment awarding custody of a minor child during the same term without holding an additional evidentiary hearing. "[A] court has plenary control over its judgments, orders and decrees during the term at which they were made, and, in the exercise of a sound discretion, may revise, revoke, or modify them." Dover v. Dover, 205 Ga. 241 (1) ( 53 S.E.2d 492); Barrett v. Manus, 219 Ga. 693 ( 135 S.E.2d 430).

It follows that there is not merit in this contention of the appellant.

Judgment affirmed. All the Justices concur.


ARGUED DECEMBER 11, 1972 — DECIDED JANUARY 4, 1973.
