Supreme Court of Georgia

Vakharwala v. Vakharwala

May 1, 2017

Summary

The court affirmed the award of litigation expenses based on the Husband’s improper conduct, holding that those fees were not subject to offset by temporary support or attorney-fee payments. It reversed the separate attorney-fee award because the enforceable prenuptial agreement barred alimony, and fees awarded in an alimony-related action are treated as part of alimony. The court also affirmed the Wife’s primary physical custody and relocation to Arizona, and remanded for entry of an amended fee order. No separate opinions were filed.
