(Ga. L. 1952, p. 149, § 2.)
- Purpose of Ga. L. 1952, p. 149, §§ 1 and 2 (see now O.C.G.A. § 19-4-1 and19-4-2), to uphold the interest and welfare of children, is manifested in the provisions insuring their legitimacy, prohibiting annulment, and thus requiring divorce to dissolve such marriages. Riddle v. Riddle, 240 Ga. 515, 241 S.E.2d 214 (1978).
- Trial court erred by denying an ex-husband's motion to set aside a divorce decree with the ex-wife because the marriage was void from the marriage's inception due to the ex-wife having a living spouse from an undissolved marriage at the time and there was no issue of the protection of a child to prevent the decree from being set aside. Wright v. Hall, 292 Ga. 457, 738 S.E.2d 594 (2013).
