Ross, In re, 68SC160
Decision Date | 12 June 1968 |
Docket Number | No. 68SC160,68SC160 |
Parties | In the Matter of the Custody of Sarah Kimberly ROSS and James Clark Ross, minors. |
Court | North Carolina Court of Appeals |
Arthur Vann, Durham, for respondent appellant.
Gwyn & Gwyn, by Julius J. Gwyn, Reidsville, for petitioner appellee.
The attorney for mother appellant in his brief sets out sixteen questions as being involved. Nothing would be gained by enumerating the sixteen questions and answering each in detail.
The evidence in the case is voluminous and sharply conflicting and reveals considerable bitterness on the part of both father and mother. A recital of the evidence would serve no useful purpose.
Hinkle v. Hinkle, 266 N.C. 189, 196, 146 S.E.2d 73, 78.
When parents separate and later are divorced, '(t)he children of the marriage become the wards of the court and their welfare is the determining factor in custody proceedings.' Stanback v. Stanback, 266 N.C. 72, 75, 145 S.E.2d 332, 334.
In this case there was ample evidence to support the facts found by Judge Shaw, and no error has been made to appear either in his findings of fact or his conclusions.
Affirmed.
