Quillian, Justice.
1. Code Ann. § 30-127 (Ga. L. 1957, pp. 412, 413; Ga. L. 1962, pp. 713, 714) reads: “In all cases of divorce granted, the party not in default shall be entitled to the custody of the minor children of the marriage. The court, however, in the exercise of sound discretion, may look into all the circumstances of the parties, including the improvement of the health of the party seeking a change in custody provisions, and, after hearing both parties, make a different disposition of the children . . . The Court may exercise a similar discretion pending the application for divorce.”
