Hannah v. Puckett

Supreme Court of Georgia
Hannah v. Puckett, 242 Ga. 688 (Ga. 1978)
251 S.E.2d 308; 1978 Ga. LEXIS 1325
Undercofler

Hannah v. Puckett

Opinion of the Court

Undercofler, Presiding Justice.

This appeal is from the order of the trial court directing that the parties’ 15-and 16-year-old-sons be jailed for refusing to visit with their father as provided in a divorce decree. Whatever the solution, if any, we are convinced a trial court cannot jail children for refusing to visit their father.

Judgment reversed.

All the Justices concur.
