Supreme Court of Georgia·Decided May 14, 2007·No. S07A0593·Published

Opinion

Thompson, Justice.

We granted husband’s application for a discretionary appeal in this divorce case to determine whether the trial court abused its discretion in awarding attorney fees to wife pursuant to OCGA § 19-6-2. We find that the trial court did abuse its discretion because there is no evidence in the record with regard to the financial circumstances of the parties. OCGA§ 19-6-2 (a) (1); Findley v. Findley, 280 Ga. 454,463 (629 SE2d 222) (2006); Weaver v. Weaver, 263 Ga. 56, 57 (428 SE2d 79) (1993).

Judgment reversed.

All the Justices concur.
