Kyle Ramsey v. Kristina Ramsey

Court of Appeals
of the State of Georgia

ATLANTA,____________________
May 29, 2026

The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A26A1986. KYLE RAMSEY v. KRISTINA RAMSEY.

In this divorce case, defendant Kyle Ramsey filed this direct appeal from the
trial court’s order dismissing his motion to recuse and denying his motion to set aside
judgment and stay enforcement of the terms of his divorce decree. We lack
jurisdiction.
“Appeals from judgments or orders in divorce, alimony, and other domestic
relations cases” must be initiated by filing an application for discretionary review.
OCGA § 5-6-35 (a) (2), (b); see Onyemobi v. Onyemobi, 375 Ga. App. 538, 540-541 (916
SE2d 738) (2025). “Compliance with the discretionary appeals procedure is
jurisdictional.” Smoak v. Dept. of Human Resources, 221 Ga. App. 257, 257 (471 SE2d
60) (1996). Ramsey’s failure to follow the required appellate procedure deprives us
of jurisdiction over this direct appeal, which is hereby DISMISSED.
