JUDICIAL DECISIONS

Grandparent's appearance by telephone denied.

- In a grandparent visitation matter, the trial court did not abuse the court's discretion in connection with the court's denial of the grandmother's request to appear by telephone, pursuant to O.C.G.A. § 19-9-50(b), because the trial court properly determined that the grandmother was not indigent based on the information provided that the grandmother's monthly income was $4,669.
