Judge WEBB
dissenting.
I dissent from that portion of the majority opinion which holds the record does not support a finding that the temporary restraining order had been served on the plaintiff. The return on the restraining order shows it was received on 8 August 1979 by T. E. Moore, a deputy sheriff of Edgecombe County and returned 10 August 1979 showing it had been served on the plaintiff by leaving a copy with her husband at 1604 Lynn Ave., in Rocky Mount. There is evidence that the plaintiff and her husband resided at this address. I believe this shows proper service on the plaintiff. See G.S. 1A-1, Rule 4(j)(l)a.
I vote to reverse that portion of the order which awarded the defendant custody of the children and affirm the rest of the court’s order.
