Opinion

Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia

ATLANTA,____________________ October 22, 2014

The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A15D0078. HUGH DAVID COHERD v. KRYSTAL JOY LUCADO.

Hugh David Coherd filed this application for discretionary appeal from the trial court’s order denying his petition for downward modification of child support based upon a prior waiver. Krystal Joy Lucado filed a motion to transfer the application to the Supreme Court based upon its exclusive jurisdiction over divorce and alimony cases. See Georgia Const. of 1983, Art. VI, Sec. VI, Par. III (6). The Supreme Court has made clear that it has jurisdiction over a claim for child support that arises in either divorce or alimony proceedings. See Spurlock v. Department of Human Resources, 286 Ga. 512, 513 (690 SE2d 378) (2010). Accordingly, Lucado’s motion to transfer is hereby GRANTED, and this application for discretionary appeal is hereby TRANSFERRED to the Supreme Court.
