Gordon v. Gordon

Supreme Court of Georgia
Gordon v. Gordon, 236 Ga. 604 (Ga. 1976)
225 S.E.2d 24; 1976 Ga. LEXIS 953
Hall, Undercofler

Gordon v. Gordon

Opinion of the Court

Undercofler, Presiding Justice.

This appeal is from the award of custody of the children of the parties from the mother to the father based on a change of conditions.

In Robinson v. Ashmore, 232 Ga. 498, 500 (207 SE2d 434) (1974) this court said that reasonable evidence is sufficient to warrant the issuance of a new judgment based on changed conditions affecting the welfare of a child occurring after the rendition of a former final custody award.

There was reasonable evidence in this case to authorize the change in custody of the children.

Judgment affirmed.

All the Justices concur, except Gunter and Hall, JJ., who dissent.

Dissenting Opinion

Hall, Justice,

dissenting.

In my opinion there is no reasonable evidence in the record upon which the trial court could find that a change of condition had occurred after the rendition of the former final custody award that adversely affected the welfare of the minor children. For this reason, I would reverse the judgment of the trial court and allow the children to remain with their mother as provided in the former final custody award.
