Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia ATLANTA,____________________ November 19, 2014 The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order: A14A2022. TAYLOR, JR. v. TAYLOR-NEWTON.

Billy E. Taylor, Jr., filed a pro se notice of appeal from the trial court’s March 19, 2014 and April 1, 2014 orders finding him in contempt for failure to pay child support in the amount set forth in a prior order. Because the underlying issue is child support, it is a domestic relations matter.1 Appeals in domestic relations cases must be taken by application for discretionary appeal as required under OCGA § 5-6-35 (a) (2). Taylor’s failure to follow the proper appellate procedure deprives us of jurisdiction over this appeal, which is hereby DISMISSED.
