Peacock v. Peacock
Supreme Court of Georgia

1Opinion of the Court
The evidence demanded a finding that the plaintiff had not entered into a common-law marriage de praesenti with the defendant, which is a valid married status in this State; and there being in this State no common-law marriage de futuro cum copula, which the defendant contends a jury would be authorized to find from the evidence, the court erred in allowing alimony and attorney's fees on either theory of the alleged common-law marriage between the parties.
