State Supreme Court Rules In Favor of Beaufort Mother The State Supreme Court ruled Wednesday in favor of Mn. John James, Beaufort, who sought cus tody of her 10-year-oid twins, Caro lyn Ann and Robert Joel Pretlow. The court said that Mrs Carolyn Pretlow James should have custo dy of the children but that thry should be allowed to remain with Mrs. Ruth Raines Pretlow to fin ish the cur re at school year at Wil mington's New Hanover High School. The mother and the twins' father. James Paddison Pretlow. were divorced in April 1944. Pol lowing the divorce, the mother married John James Jr., now a Beaufort lawyer, and Pretlow mar ried Ruth Raines. Pretlow was killed in an automo bile wreck last Aug. It. During the last few years of his life, the custody of the twins had been di vided between their parents. I.ast Aug. 12. four days before Pretlow's death, the father, the twins' mother and their stepfather agreed the children should live with their father and stepmother during the 1954-53 school year. After the father's death, how ever, the question of custody came before the courts. In Carteret Superior Court last August, Judge W. H. S. Burgwyn was told that the twins loved their mother and stepmother equally but wanted to live with their step mother so that they could complete their studies at New Hanover High. The Judge awarded custody to the stepmother with the stipula tion that the children should be permitted to visit their mother. Mrs. James, in Beaufort on week ends and during vacation periods. The mother appealed. Associate Justice R. Hunt Par ser, author of the Supreme Court opinion, wrote the law was on the mother's side. "Courts should never lightly dis regard the legal rights of parents, or a surviving parent," he said, "nor should their natural and emo tional ties with their children be overlooked. "The wishes of a child of suffi cient age to exercise discretion in choosing a custodian is entitled to considerable weight when a con test is between parents, but it is not controlling. Where the con test is between a parent and one not connected by blood to the chUd, Um desire of the child will' not ordinarily prevail over the natural right of the parent, unless essential to the child'* welfare." He pointed out that (tnce the current school year to almost aver, the children shouU not be re quired to move now. The section of Judge Burgwyn's order grant ing the stepmother custody for the 1954-55 school year, therefore, was affirmed. The remainder of the order was modified hy striking out the see tion awarding her custody beyond the school year.
