S-18-0675 In re Interest of Donald B. et. al
Douglas County Separate Juvenile Court, Judge Chad M. Brown
Attorneys: John J. Ekeh (Ekeh Law Office, for Appellant) --- Natalie Killion (Douglas County Attorney’s Office, for Appellee)
Civil: Petition for Further Review; Termination of Parental Rights
Proceedings below: The trial court accepted Appellant’s voluntary relinquishment as to her parental rights and found that the child, Devin B., was within the meaning of Neb. Rev. Stat. § 43-292(1) (Reissue 2008), Neb. Rev. Stat. § 43-283.01 (cum. Supp.2010) and that it was in the best interests of the child to terminate Appellant’s parental rights. Appellant’s parental rights with respect to the older child, Donald B., were not terminated. Appellant timely appealed and the decision of the trial court was affirmed by the Court of Appeals.
Issues: Whether the trial court erred by 1) accepting the Appellant’s admission as relinquishment of her rights to her child Devin B.; and 2) terminating Appellant’s parental rights with Devin B. and not Donald B.
