Opinion
62409, 62410.
DECIDED NOVEMBER 16, 1981.
Garnishment. Bulloch Superior Court. Before Judge Hawkins.
E. Bright Kinnett, for appellant (case no. 62409).
J. Hamrick Gnann, Jr., for appellant (case no. 62410).
Gerald M. Edenfield, Susan Warren Cox, for appellee.
The sole error enumerated in both these appeals is that the trial court erred in holding in contravention of Code Ann. § 114-302 that workers' compensation benefits are subject to garnishment to enforce a decree for child support. This issue has recently been decided adversely to appellants in American Mut. Liab. Ins. Co. v. Hicks, 159 Ga. App. 214 ( 283 S.E.2d 18) (1981) (cert. den. September 30, 1981), where this court concluded "that a garnishment to a judgment for child support is not precluded by Code Ann. § 114-302."
Judgment affirmed. Quillian, C. J., and McMurray, P. J., concur.
