Court of Appeals of North Carolina April 21, 1981, 8014DC815 (Condie v. Condie)

HEDRICK, Judge.

Plaintiff contends, based upon his first assignment of error, that the court erred in denying his motions for a directed verdict with respect to defendant’s counterclaim. He argues that the evidence presented is insufficient to show abandonment of defendant by plaintiff, but does sufficiently show separation by consent. We do not agree.
