The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A12A1869. BENJAMIN CANNON v THE GEORGIA DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN RESOURCES EX. REL., LAUREN THOMPSON.

Benjamin Cannon has filed a direct appeal from an order requiring him to pay child support on behalf of his child. We lack jurisdiction. Appeals in domestic relations cases must be taken by application for discretionary appeal. See OCGA § 5-6-35 (a) (2). Because Cannon failed to follow the proper appellate procedure, his appeal is DISMISSED for lack of jurisdiction. See Fitzgerald v. Department of Human Resources, 231 Ga. App. 129 (497 SE2d 659) (1998).
