Daryl Lewis v. Shawnequa Lewis
Daryl Lewis v. Shawnequa Lewis
Opinion
Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia ATLANTA,____________________ August 30, 2024 The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order: A25A0013. DARYL LEWIS v. SHAWNEQUA LEWIS.
Daryl Lewis filed this direct appeal from 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). And while the divorce decree here determined, among other things, child custody, such determination does not transform this case into a “child custody case” subject to direct appeal under OCGA § 5-6-34 (a) (11). See Todd v. Todd, 287 Ga. 250, 251-252 (1) (703 SE2d 597) (2010). Lewis’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).
