Goldman v. Goldman
Goldman v. Goldman
Opinion of the Court
Mrs. Ethel Lund Goldman appeals from the judgment of the Superior Court of DeKalb County denying her prayers for temporary alimony and attorney’s fees in her complaint for divorce against Jesse Myerson Goldman.
The appellant insists that since there was no dispute in the evidence presented at the hearing upon this matter as to her monthly needs or her lack of income and earnings, it was error for the trial court to deny her temporary alimony and attorney’s fees.
We do not agree.
Under Georgia law the grant of temporary alimony and attorney’s fees is clearly within the discretion of the trial court. Code §§ 30-202, 30-203, 30-205. Therefore, the only issue before this court is whether based upon the evidence the ruling of the trial court was a manifest or flagrant abuse of its discretion. Moss v. Moss, 196 Ga. 340 (26 SE2d 628); Cook v. Cook, 197 Ga. 703 (30 SE2d 479); Roehrman v. Roehrman, 219 Ga. 52 (131 SE2d 558); Brock v. Brock, 228 Ga. 500 (186 SE2d 537).
The evidence adduced here was in essential part as follows: that the wife was 59 years old and the husband 60 years, and that they had been married approximately
As we view this evidence, it cannot be said that a flagrant abuse of discretion was manifested by the trial court in denying the wife temporary alimony and attorney’s fees.
Judgment affirmed.
