Dye v. Dye

Supreme Court of Georgia

165 S.E.2d 652 (Ga. 1969)

Opinion

24985.

ARGUED DECEMBER 10, 1968.

DECIDED JANUARY 9, 1969.

Divorce. DeKalb Superior Court. Before Judge Guess.

George H. Carley, Claude E. Hambrick, for appellant.

Zachary, Hunter, Zachary Bowden, John C. Hunter, for appellee.


The solitary question presented for decision is whether or not the permanent alimony awarded to the wife was grossly inadequate. The evidence shows the husband earns a net income of $9,374.43, and the wife earns $3,528. The two had an equity of $4,000 in the home. The wife was awarded all removable furniture except carpets and drapes, an automobile, and $100 per month for six years. Faced with these facts, this court cannot say the award was grossly inadequate. Robertson v. Robertson, 207 Ga. 686 ( 63 S.E.2d 876); Thomason v. Thomason, 223 Ga. 90 ( 153 S.E.2d 716); McNally v. McNally, 223 Ga. 246 ( 154 S.E.2d 209); and Childs v. Childs, 224 Ga. 531 ( 163 S.E.2d 693).

Judgment affirmed. All the Justices concur.

ARGUED DECEMBER 10, 1968 — DECIDED JANUARY 9, 1969.
