Crosby v. Crosby

The question presented for decision is: Did the court sufficiently find facts, based on competent evidence of change of circumstances since entry of order for child support, to justify vacating said order?

When a divorce action is instituted, the court acquires jurisdiction over the children born to the marriage and may hear and determine questions as to the custody , and maintenance of the children, both before and after final decree of divorce. In the exercise of this jurisdiction the welfare of the child is of paramount consideration. Story v. Story, 221 N.C. 114, 19 S.E. 2d 136. G.S. 50-13.
