Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia ATLANTA,____________________ February 26, 2015 The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order: A15A0995. DIANE FOREHAND GRINDELL v. MICHAEL MACLEAN GRINDELL.

Diane Grindell filed a garnishment action to collect child support arrears from Michael Grindell. He filed a traverse, which the trial court granted. Diane Grindell then filed this appeal. We, however, lack jurisdiction.

First, appeals in domestic relations cases, including child support cases, must be taken by application for discretionary appeal as required under OCGA § 5-6-35 (a) (2). See Fitzgerald v. Department of Human Resources, 231 Ga. App. 129 (497 SE2d 659) (1998). Second, “[a]ppeals from cases involving garnishment or attachment” also must be brought by discretionary application. OCGA § 5-6-35 (a) (4). Because Grindell failed to follow the proper appellate procedure, her appeal is DISMISSED for lack of jurisdiction.
