Turnmire v. And

Court of Appeals of North Carolina

Decided February 5, 2019No. COA17-960Published

1Opinion of the Court

BERGER, Judge.

Kevin Eldreth ("Defendant") appeals from an order granting permanent custody of Defendant's daughter, Andrea,1 to Andrea's maternal great-aunt Wana Turnmire ("Mrs. Turnmire") and great-uncle Jimmy Ray Turnmire ("Mr. Turnmire") (collectively, "Plaintiffs"). Defendant argues that the trial court erred by (1) concluding that Plaintiffs had standing to sue for custody of Andrea and (2) applying the "best interests of the child" analysis. After review, we affirm the order of the trial court, but remand for the trial court to revise one of its findings of fact.
