Robert B. McCord, Jr., for appellants.

Westmoreland, Hall, McGee & Warner, John Westmoreland, Jr., J. M. Crawford, for appellee.

In July of 1975, the natural mother filed a complaint against her former husband and his parents that sought permanent custody of the child.

The trial judge then conducted a hearing, considered evidence, and then entered a judgment awarding permanent custody of the minor child to the natural mother.

We have reviewed the record; this case presents issues of fact with respect to what is in the best interest of the minor child; there is reasonable evidence to support the trial judge’s determination; and we affirm his judgment. Robinson v. Ashmore, 232 Ga. 498 (207 SE2d 484) (1974).

Judgment affirmed.

All the Justices concur.
