Court of Appeals of Georgia

Decided May 12, 1976No. 52120PublishedCited by 6 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

Webb, Judge.

In this contested adoption case the petitioners, husband and wife, alleged that they were fit and proper persons to adopt the minor child of the wife by a former marriage, and that they were financially able to support and educate the child. They contended that the consent of the natural father of the child was unnecessary because he had abandoned the child and had wantonly and wilfully failed to comply with a child support order dated June 27, 1968, for a period in excess of twelve months prior to the filing of the adoption petition. The natural father denied the allegations.
