Olufeyijimi Awofadeju v. Alufunmilola Akinla

Automated case summary

What the court decided

Olufeyijimi Awofadeju appealed a divorce judgment after failing to follow the proper discretionary appeal procedure for domestic relations cases, which requires an application to be filed with the court before a direct appeal can be made. The Court of Appeals dismissed Awofadeju's appeal because she did not comply with the jurisdictional requirements of OCGA § 5-6-35(a)(2) and (b), resulting in this direct appeal being dismissed.
