Supreme Court of Georgia.

Decided January 16, 1981.

Conrad & Abernathy, H. Steve Abernathy, for appellant.

Robert Benham, for appellee.

MARSHALL, Justice.

This court no longer has a jurisdictional basis for entertaining appeals involving child custody questions unless the appeal also involves a judgment for divorce and alimony. Munday v. Munday, 243 Ga. 863 (257 SE2d 282) (1979). The present appeal does not involve a judgment for divorce. This case is accordingly transferred to the Court of Appeals.

Transferred to the Court of Appeals. All the Justices concur, except Gregory, J., not participating.
