Woods v. Woods

Nichols, Chief Justice.

The father filed a petition seeking a change in custody of his minor son. The petition alleged that the mother was a nonresident of the state, but frequently visited and sojourned in the county. The mother was personally served. She filed a plea to the jurisdiction of both the person and the subject matter, which was overruled. The trial court entered a final award of custody in favor of the father. The mother appeals from the award of custody.

There is no merit in the contention that the trial court lacked subject matter jurisdiction. Hopkins v. Hopkins, 237 Ga. 845 (1)…
