McGarr v. McGarr

Supreme Court of Georgia

Decided September 8, 1977No. 32394PublishedCited by 11 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

Hall, Justice.

Appellant husband appeals from a judgment granting him a divorce and awarding the appellee substantial alimony and child support. The suit was based upon grounds of cruel treatment; appellee counterclaimed on the same grounds.

1. Appellant failed to object to the charge on alimony. The exception found in Code Ann. § 70-207 (c) (harmful as a matter of law) is inapplicable unless it appears that the error contended is blatantly apparent and prejudicial, and that a gross miscarriage of justice attributable to it is about to result. Sullens v. Sullens, 236 Ga. 645 (224 SE2d 921)…
