Pope, Judge,
concurring specially.
While I concur in the judgment of the majority, I feel it necessary to recognize that the trial judge in this case is a superior court judge sitting as judge of the juvenile court. As a practical matter, the jurisdictional and procedural snafu resulting from the inclusion of modification of visitation is, therefore, more understandable. The majority is, however, correct in holding that, without indication in the record that the trial judge was exercising his superior court authority so as to bring the visitation issue within the proper jurisdiction, that part of the order regarding changes in the visitation rights of the mother is of no effect and must be reversed. I am authorized to state that Judge Beasley joins in this special concurrence.
*900Decided May 30, 1985.
Ralph F. Simpson, for appellant.
Robert H. Reeves, for appellee.
