Georgia Court of Appeals
Douglas Andrew Hardin v. Rita B. Hardin A/K/A Rita Barbagallo
A16A1210
August 18, 2016
Vacated & Case Remanded
Automated case summary
What the court decided
The Georgia Court of Appeals held that a trial court order permitting visitation based on completing therapy is an impermissibly self-executing change of visitation because it lacks necessary judicial scrutiny regarding the child's best interests. Therefore, the Georgia Court of Appeals vacated the order and remanded the case to the trial court for reconsideration.
