Court of Appeals of North Carolina July 1, 1986, 8615DC118 (Griffin v. Griffin)

*667

WELLS, Judge.

In her first assignment of error, defendant contends that the trial court abused its discretion in entering an order which failed to give sufficient weight to the testimony of the children in light of their ages. It is a well-recognized principle of the law in this State that the trial court has broad discretion in matters of child custody.

In re Peal,

305 N.C. 640, 290 S.E.
