PER CURIAM.

¶1Certiorari was granted because of an alleged conflict between this case and Monroe v. Monroe, 356 So.2d 196 (Ala.Civ.App.1977). We agree that a conflict does exist between Monroeand the present case, as well as other cases. However, it is our opinion that the case of McGugin v. McGugin, 357 So.2d 347 (Ala.Civ.App.1978), contains the correct reasoning, and to the extent Monroeis in conflict with McGuginand the other cases consistent therewith, it should not be followed.

¶2The judgment of the Court of Civil Appeals, 418 So.2d 113, is therefore affirmed.
