Supreme Court of Alabama

Ex Parte S.l.j.f. (in Re: S.l.j.f. v. Cherokee County Department of Human Resources)

October 31, 20142014 Ala. LEXIS 177

Summary

The Supreme Court of Alabama denied the petition for a writ of certiorari filed by S.L.J.F., leaving in place the lower courts' termination of the mother’s parental rights. A dissenting Chief Justice argued that the juvenile court lacked clear and convincing evidence and failed to consider viable alternatives, and would have granted the petition.
