Bailey v. Bailey, A07A0610., COURT OF APPEALS OF GEORGIA, January 31, 2007, Decided
View this case - free  

Overview: Because a claim to change custody could not be asserted as a counterclaim, pursuant to O.C.G.A. § 19-9-23, the trial court erred in denying a father's motion to dismiss the same asserted by a mother. Moreover, the father's failure to raise the matter as a defense did not act as a waiver, as he filed no response to the counterclaim.
