Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia ATLANTA,____________________ October 08, 2015 The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order: A16D0051. BEN F. CHRISTIAN, JR. v. CARLA GRAVES CHRISTIAN.
Defendant Ben Christian, Jr. has filed an application for discretionary appeal in this Court, seeking to appeal the trial court’s award of OCGA § 9-15-14 attorney fees in the court’s final order in this divorce case. We lack jurisdiction.

III (6); Morris v. Morris, 284 Ga. 748, 750 (2) (670 SE2d 84) (2008). Because the underlying subject matter of this appeal is divorce, it is hereby TRANSFERRED to the Supreme Court for disposition.
