Russell Carl Nast v. Lauren C. Nast - Divorce Appeal Dismissed

Russell Carl Nast's direct appeal from an October 8, 2025 divorce judgment was dismissed by the Georgia Court of Appeals. The court held that appeals from divorce orders must proceed via discretionary application under OCGA § 5-6-35(a)(2), not direct appeal, and that compliance with the discretionary procedure is jurisdictional. Lauren Nast's motion to dismiss was granted; her motion for a frivolous appeal penalty was denied.
