Section 5-6-35(a)(2)'s discretionary-appeal procedure need not be followed to appeal an order in a child-custody case because such orders are directly appealable.

Doreen Dae Eddy and Peter B. Eddy v. Rivera · filed 2013-05-13(a)(2)

OCGA § 5-6-34 (a) (11) provides that “[a]ll judgments or orders in child custody cases including, but not limited to, awarding or refusing to change child custody” are now directly appealable. The effect of this broad language is that a party seeking to appeal any order in a child custody case – even a non-final order such as the one at issue here – is no longer required to comply with either the interlocutory appeal procedure of OCGA § 5-6-34 (b) or the discretionary appeal procedure of OCGA § 5-6-35 (a) (2).

A motion to set aside based upon lack of jurisdiction is governed by OCGA § 9-11-60 (d).

Application for appeal in child custody habeas corpus actions

Law changed since HB 369 (effective Jan. 1, 2008) made standalone child-custody and custody-contempt orders directly appealable; divorce orders may still require a discretionary application.

Here, inasmuch as our previous decisions construing prior enactments of OCGA § 5-6-35 held that the classes of cases listed in the statute did not encompass child custody habeas suits, we conclude that the General Assembly’s addition of the term “child custody, and other domestic relations cases including, but not limited to” the enumerated classes previously found therein was intended to add child custody habeas corpus actions to the purview of OCGA § 5-6-35.

OCGA § 19-11-5 provides that "[t]he payment of public assistance to or on behalf of a child creates a debt due and owing the state by the parent or parents responsible for the support of the child." This Code section was the statutory basis for the action commenced by DHR in this case.

Reading these sections of the Act together, we conclude the Act requires that the discretionary appeal procedure of § 5-6-35 be used only where the appellant is a prisoner or a former prisoner appealing from an action that was filed by the appellant when he or she was a prisoner. See Jones v. Townsend, 267 Ga. 489, 490, 480 S.E.2d 24 (1997). Since Whitehead is not appealing from an action that was filed by her when she was imprisoned, she properly filed a direct appeal.

Section 5-6-35(a)(1) permits a direct appeal from a condemnation proceeding under Title 22-2 even when the damages amount would otherwise trigger discretionary appeal procedures under subsection (a)(6).

Walker v. Georgia Power Co. · filed 1986-01-06(a)(1), (a)(6)

Since this action arose as a condemnation proceeding initiated by Georgia Power under OCGA Title 22-2, we conclude that the matter is properly before us by direct appeal (see OCGA § 5-6-35 (a) (1)), even though the amount of damages in controversy is less than $2,500, which would otherwise necessitate dismissal for failure to follow the discretionary appeal procedures of OCGA § 5-6-35 (a) (6).
