Thomas v. Thomas

Supreme Court of Georgia

Decided February 17, 1976No. 30766PublishedCited by 7 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

Hall, Justice.

Where under the divorce decree the mother is the custodial parent and the father is obligated to pay $200 per month per child as child support, he may not unilaterally reduce the support payment by any amount even though one child subsequently decides to begin living with him and in doing so is in fact supported by him. The trial court did not err in holding the father in contempt in these circumstances. Roberts v. Roberts, 231 Ga. 370, 200 (202 SE2d 57) (1973); Combs v. Combs, 216 Ga. 715, 716 (119 SE2d 341) (1975). See Edwards v. Edwards, 235 Ga. 199, 200 (219 SE2d 117)…
