JUDICIAL DECISIONS

Contempt order held authorized.

- After the father sent the child in dispute to his family in Pakistan, the trial court did not err in ordering confinement of the father until the child was returned as the trial court was authorized to find that the father had disobeyed, without defense, a legal requirement of a writ of habeas corpus. Salim v. Salim, 244 Ga. 513, 260 S.E.2d 894 (1979).
