David Wayne Gallemore III v. Wanda Willis White

Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia ATLANTA,____________________ December 08, 2016 The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order: A17A0729. DAVID WAYNE GALLEMORE III v. WANDA WILLIS WHITE. The trial court issued an order finding David Wayne Gallemore, III, in contempt for failing to make child support payments under a final judgment and decree of divorce. In Case No. A16D0464, Gallemore filed an application for discretionary review in this Court, and this Court transferred the application to the Supreme Court, which granted the application. Gallemore has also filed the instant direct appeal in this Court. In transferring Gallemore’s application to the Supreme Court, we explained that “an appeal from the judgment in a contempt action seeking to enforce any portion of the divorce decree other than child custody is ancillary to divorce and alimony and falls within [the Supreme] Court’s jurisdiction over divorce and alimony cases.” (Punctuation omitted.) Rogers v. McGahee, 278 Ga. 287, 288 (1) (602 SE2d 582) (2004). In this direct appeal, Gallemore is seeking review of the same trial court order as in his application. Accordingly, this appeal also falls within the Supreme Court’s jurisdiction, and this appeal is hereby TRANSFERRED to the Supreme Court for disposition.
