Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia ATLANTA,_________________ May 09, 2012 The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order: A12A1730. DWIGHT EDWARD HOLLOMAN v. ADAMS.

Dwight Edward Holloman has filed a direct appeal from an order finding him in contempt for failure to pay previously ordered child support. Pursuant to OCGA § 5-6-35 (a) (2), however, appeals in domestic relations cases must be taken by application for discretionary appeal. Because Holloman failed to follow the proper appellate procedure, this appeal is DISMISSED for lack of jurisdiction. See Fitzgerald v. Department of Human Resources, 231 Ga. App. 129 (497 SE2d 659) (1998).
