ANDERSON v. SVARD (2007)

Supreme Court of Georgia.

ANDERSON v. SVARD.

No. S07A0593.

Decided: May 14, 2007

Clark Everett Gulley, Colbert, for Appellant. April Svard, Acworth, pro se.

We granted husband's application for a discretionary appeal in this divorce case to determine whether the trial court abused its discretion in awarding attorney fees to wife pursuant to OCGA § 19-6-2. We find that the trial court did abuse its discretion because there is no evidence in the record with regard to the financial circumstances of the parties. OCGA § 19-6-2(a)(1); Findley v. Findley, 280 Ga. 454, 463, 629 S.E.2d 222 (2006); Weaver v. Weaver, 263 Ga. 56, 57, 428 S.E.2d 79 (1993).

Judgment reversed.
