1Opinion of the Court
Barnes, Chief Judge.
Vera Mae Clark appeals the Gwinnett County Probate Court’s order dismissing her petition for year’s support. Clark contends the probate court erred by applying the automatic dismissal provision of OCGA § 9-2-60 (b) to her petition. For the reasons below, we affirm.
The standard of review for a question of law on appeal is de novo. “When a question of law is at issue, as here, we owe no deference to the trial court’s ruling and apply the ‘plain legal error’ standard of review.” (Citation omitted.) Suarez v. Halbert, 246 Ga. App. 822, 824 (1) (543 SE2d 733) (2000).
