Supreme Court of Georgia

Brown v. Brown

January 23, 2017

Summary

The Supreme Court of Georgia affirmed the trial court’s finding that Husband was not in wilful contempt for depositing alimony and child‑support payments into a joint account, but reversed the trial court’s order extinguishing his child‑support obligation, holding that a contempt court lacks authority to modify a divorce decree. The court affirmed the denial of attorney‑fees and damages.
