Opinions

Smith, Presiding Justice.

We granted Mr. Estlund’s application for discretionary appeal to consider “whether the award of the home to the wife is a form of alimony which would be subject to modification under OCGA § 19-6-19.”

The trial court did not err in dismissing Mr. Estlund’s complaint seeking modification of a divorce decree in which Mrs. Estlund was awarded title to the marital home until she remarried, sold the home, or died. The award of the house to the wife was an award of lump sum alimony and is not subject to modification. Lyons v. Lyons, 244 Ga. 619, 620 (261 SE2d 395) (1979).

Judgment affirmed.

All the Justices concur.
