concurring in the result.
I disagree with the supreme court’s reasoning in Maddox v. Maddox, 276 Ala. 197, 160 So.2d 481 (1964). However, this court is bound by precedent established by our supreme court. § 12-3-16, Ala.Code 1975; Farmers Ins. Exch. v. Raine, 905 So.2d 832, 835 (Ala.Civ.App.2004). For that reason, I concur in the result.
