Hannah v. Puckett

251 S.E.2d 308, 242 Ga. 688, 1978 Ga. LEXIS 1325
Supreme Court of Georgia·Decided December 5, 1978·No. 34116·Published

Opinion

Undercofler, Presiding Justice.

This appeal is from the order of the trial court directing that the parties’ 15-and 16-year-old-sons be jailed for refusing to visit with their father as provided in a divorce decree. Whatever the solution, if any, we are convinced a trial court cannot jail children for refusing to visit their father.

Judgment reversed.

All the Justices concur.
