Georgia Court of Appeals

Julie Ann Greenlee v. Molly Jo Tideback

A21A0622 April 1, 2021 Affirmed

Automated case summary

What the court decided

The Georgia Court of Appeals held that a party must be barred from asserting an inconsistent position after successfully persuading a court to accept an earlier one under the doctrine of judicial estoppel. The Georgia Court of Appeals affirmed the trial court's decision, finding no abuse of discretion in applying judicial estoppel to prevent Greenlee from challenging the consent divorce decree.
