Sarpy County, District Judge Stefanie A. Martinez
Attorney for Appellant: Kelly N. Tollefsen (Kelly Tollefsen Law Offices, P.C.)
Attorney for Appellee: Robin L. Binning (Binning & Plambeck)
Civil Action: denial of consent to adoption
Action Taken by Trial Court: The trial court found that Harold failed to meet his burden under the applicable statute and denied his motion to consent to adoption.
Assignments of Error on Appeal: On appeal, Harold assigns that the district court erred in (1) ruling that it did not have jurisdiction to hear the motion for consent to adoption and determination of mother’s consent, (2) finding that he failed to meet his burden of proof in the motion for consent to adoption and determination of mother’s consent, and (3) finding that abandonment was the only allegation in the motion for consent to adoption and determination of mother’s consent.
