A person in the place of a parent or someone who has assumed the status and obligations of a parent without a formal adoption. Shook v. Peavy, 23 N.C.App. 230, 208 S.E.2d 433 (1974); G.S. § 50-13.4
INTERLOCUTORY
An order is “interlocutory” if is “does not dispose of the case, but leaves it for further action by the trial court in order to settle and determine the entire controversy.” Veazey v. Durham, 231 N.C. 357, 362, 57 S.E.2d 377, 381 (1950).
“As a general rule, there is no right of appeal from an interlocutory order.” Edwards v. Foley, 253 N.C. App. 410, 411, 800 S.E.2d 755, 756 (2017). However, “immediate appellate review of an interlocutory order is available . . . when the interlocutory order affects a substantial right under N.C. Gen. Stat. § 1-277(a)[.]” Hill v. StubHub, Inc., 219 N.C. App. 227, 232, 727 S.E.2d 550, 554 (2012).
Interlocutory orders are subject to appellate review if (1) the order is final as to some claims or parties, and the trial court certifies pursuant to N.C. Gen.Stat. § 1A–1, Rule 54(b) that there is no just reason to delay the appeal, or (2) the order deprives the appellant of a substantial right that would be lost unless immediately reviewed. Hamilton v. Mortgage Information Services,Inc.,212 N.C. App. 73, 76, 711 S.E.2d 185, 188-89 (2011).
