MACKEY v. MACKEY.

UNDERCOFLER, Justice.

This appeal is from the denial of a motion to set aside a divorce decree. Appellant failed to file an answer to the petition and therefore received no notice of the final hearing. See Wallace v. Wallace, 229 Ga. 607 ( 193 S.E.2d 832). Appellant asserts that an answer was not filed because he did not know the whereabouts of the petitioner, his wife, and could not have served her with a copy of such answer. Pretermitting the question of whether a motion to set aside is an available remedy in this case, the record shows clearly that the appellant knew his wife's address and where she had worked for the past five years. In addition, the wife's attorney appeared of record and could have been served. Code Ann. § 81A-105 (Ga. L. 1966, pp. 609, 615; 1967, pp. 226, 229). Judgment affirmed. All the Justices concur.

UNDERCOFLER, Justice.

SUBMITTED MARCH 29, 1974 — DECIDED APRIL 23, 1974 — REHEARING DENIED MAY 7, 1974.
