ANTHONY CURTIS SLOAN, JR. Plaintiff v. CHENAY SANDERS SLOAN, Defendant v. ANTHONY C. SLOAN, SR. and KATHY SLOAN, Intervenors NO. COA03-905 Filed: 1. 4 May 2004

Child Support, Custody, and Visitation--visitation--grandparents

The trial court did not err by denying defendant mother's motion to dismiss intervenor paternal grandparents' motions regarding visitation with the minor child following the death of plaintiff father and by modifying the previous child custody order to award intervenors additional visitation privileges on the grounds of a substantial change in circumstances, because: (1) although not originally parties to the custody action, as the paternal family and parents of plaintiff, intervenors were initially awarded temporary custody and subsequently awarded permanent visitation rights by those orders which were entered during the underlying custody dispute and before plaintiff's death; (2) the trial court was within its discretion to issue those orders under N.C.G.S.
