231 Ga. 647 | Ga. | 1974
In December 1972 Bobbie Martin Todd filed an action against Donnie D. Todd in which she sought a divorce, custody of the couple’s minor child and an award of described property as support in lieu of monthly alimony and child support payments. No responsive pleadings were filed by the defendant until May 1973 when he filed a "Motion to Open Default Based Upon Providential Cause” and an answer to the plaintiffs complaint. Prior to any ruling on the motion to open the default the defendant struck such motion. The plaintiff then filed a motion to dismiss the defendant’s answer to the original complaint which was overruled. This judgment was certified for immediate review. Held:
In Johnston v. Still, 225 Ga. 222 (167 SE2d 646), this court dealt with the effect of the Civil Practice Act (Ga. L. 1966, p. 609), and
Judgment affirmed.
