Viskup v. Viskup

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• explaining that this Court may review the record to determine the statutory basis of an attorney fees order
• noting that OCGA § 19-9-3 (g) “is applicable in an action seeking modification of child custody/visitation[.]”
• recognizing a father’s appeal as a direct appeal where custody was adjudicated as part of the divorce decree, but the mother later filed a petition for modification of custody and the father appealed from the trial court’s decision on the petition
• affirming attorney fee award that did not state its statutory basis because the language of the order tracked OCGA § 19-9-3 (g) and the case fell within that section’s parameters
• evidence concerning the child’s socialization and emotional maturation during a custody modification proceeding supported a modification in custody
• a fee award that fell within the parameters of OCGA § 19-9-3 (g) did not have to be remanded for reconsideration of the father's financial circumstances
