239 Ga. 713 | Ga. | 1977
The appellant wife filed suit for divorce on the grounds of cruel treatment and prayed for custody of the minor child of the parties, alimony and child support. The trial court issued a temporary order awarding the wife custody, child support and attorney fees. The husband then filed an answer, alleging the marriage was irretrievably broken and that he be awarded custody of the minor child. He also filed a petition to modify the temporary order as respects the custody award. The trial court then modified its temporary order and divided custody between the parties.
The suit then proceeded to a final hearing and order granting both parties a divorce and awarding custody to the father with visitation rights to the appellant.
