S-19-0382 In re Interest of Taeson D.

Lancaster County Separate Juvenile Court, Judge Reggie L. Ryder

Attorneys: Troy J. Bird (The Hoppe Law Firm, LLC) (Appellant) --- Mary C. Norrie (County Attorney’s Office) (Appellee)

Civil: Termination

Proceedings Below: The trial court terminated Appellant’s parental rights.

Issues: Whether the trial court erred by 1) terminating Appellant’s parental rights where the State of Nebraska and the Department of Health and Human Services failed to provide reasonable efforts in reuniting Turner and Taeson D., and 2) failing to afford Appellant his procedural due process right to meaningful access to the courts during the entirety of the termination hearing.
