Grenevitch v. Grenevitch

Supreme Court of Georgia

Decided June 8, 2009No. S09A0320Published

1DissentHunstein, Presiding Justice

In his modification petition, Husband alleges nothing more than the single fact that his eldest child has attained the age of 18. This fact alone, whether or not supported by evidence, does not constitute a “substantial change in either parent’s income and financial status or the needs of the child” as is required to sustain a petition for modification under OCGA § 19-6-15 (k) (1). See also former OCGA § 19-6-19 (a). Accordingly, contrary to the majority’s conclusion, I believe the trial court was correct in dismissing the petition. See Perry v. Williamson, 219 Ga. 701 (135 SE2d 412) (1964)…
