Ex Parte Gerald Van Jones. (in Re Gerald Van Jones v. Gaynor Jones)

Summary

The Supreme Court of Alabama reversed the Court of Civil Appeals and remanded, holding that the trial court’s order awarding post‑minority educational support must be vacated because Ex parte Christopher applies to cases pending on appeal, and the child‑custody statute does not authorize such support. Justice Murdock’s dissent argues the issue was waived because it was not raised in the trial court.
