                                       ATLANTA,____________________
                                                 October 22, 2014

The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:

A15D0078. HUGH DAVID COHERD v. KRYSTAL JOY LUCADO.

      Hugh David Coherd filed this application for discretionary appeal from the trial
court’s order denying his petition for downward modification of child support based
upon a prior waiver. Krystal Joy Lucado filed a motion to transfer the application to
the Supreme Court based upon its exclusive jurisdiction over divorce and alimony
cases. See Georgia Const. of 1983, Art. VI, Sec. VI, Par. III (6).
      The Supreme Court has made clear that it has jurisdiction over a claim for child
support that arises in either divorce or alimony proceedings. See Spurlock v.
Department of Human Resources, 286 Ga. 512, 513 (690 SE2d 378) (2010).
Accordingly, Lucado’s motion to transfer is hereby GRANTED, and this application
for discretionary appeal is hereby TRANSFERRED to the Supreme Court.
