Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia ATLANTA,____________________ May 23, 2023 The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order: A23A1468. JAWAD BHATTI v. NAJMA BHATTI.

Jawad Bhatti filed this direct appeal of the trial court’s final judgment and decree of divorce. However, appeals from “judgments or orders in divorce, alimony, and other domestic relations cases” must be made by application for discretionary appeal. OCGA § 5-6-35 (a) (2). The appellant’s failure to follow the discretionary appeal procedure deprives us of jurisdiction over this appeal, which is hereby DISMISSED. See Ford v. Ford, 347 Ga. App. 233, 234 (818 SE2d 690) (2018).
