Opinion

Marshall, Justice.

This court no longer has a jurisdictional basis for entertaining appeals involving child custody questions unless the appeal also involves a judgment for divorce and alimony. Munday v. Munday, 243 Ga. 863 (257 SE2d 282) (1979). The present appeal does not involve a judgment for divorce. This case is accordingly transferred to the Court of Appeals.

Transferred to the Court of Appeals.

All the Justices concur, except Gregory, J., not participating.
