The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A13D0369. FRANKLIN ABREU v. ROSEMARIE ABREU.

Franklin Abreu filed this application for discretionary appeal, seeking to appeal a superior court order denying his contempt petition. Because it appears that the petition for contempt is based on alleged violations of a divorce decree, jurisdiction lies in the Supreme Court, which has appellate jurisdiction over “[a]ll divorce and alimony cases.” Ga. Const. of 1983, Art. VI, Sec. VI, Par. III (6); see Rogers v. McGahee, 278 Ga. 287, 288 (1) (602 SE2d 582) (2004); see also Morris v. Morris, 284 Ga. 748, 750 (2) (670 SE2d 84) (2008). Accordingly, this application is hereby TRANSFERRED to the Supreme Court of Georgia for disposition.
