Supreme Court of North Carolina
Decided October 8, 1958No. 165PublishedCited by 18 opinions
1Opinion of the CourtRodmaN, J.
Respondent challenges the validity of Judge Moore’s order on these grounds: (1) Habeas corpus is not available to determine the right to the custody of children whose parents have been divorced in another State; (2) refusal of her request for continuance; (3) the Virginia decree awarding custody is entitled to full faith and credit and by reason thereof the courts of North Carolina are forbidden to presently inquire into her right to custody. Respondent did not plead the Virginia decree as a defense. Apparently the force of the Virginia order was not raised in the court below.
