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.
