In GA all judgments or orders in child custody cases are directly appealable

Posted Mar.17, 2010 by Cynthia J. Remboldt, Esq., under Appeal, Capacity, Custody, Jurisdiction, Transcripts

 Capacity, Child Custody, direct appeal, Jurisdicton, Transcript

Judgment granting father’s motion to enforce settlement agreement pertaining to child custody and visitation and awarding him primary physical custody of his two children, AFFIRMED; absent transcript, trial court presumably did not err in rejecting mother’s claims that she did not assent to settlement’s terms and lacked capacity to contract at time in question due to medical condition;  Court had jurisdiction over direct appeal of matter, since relevant legal action for jurisdictional purposes was father’s motion to enforce settlement agreement, which he filed after 2007 amendment to OCGA § 5-6-34 providing that all judgments or orders in child custody cases are directly appealable – and not divorce complaint, which was filed prior to amendment.
