Tara U., Appellant v. State of Alaska, Department of Health & Social Services, Office of Children's Services, Appellee

Summary

The Alaska Supreme Court vacated the termination order insofar as it rested on the finding that OCS made reasonable efforts and remanded for findings based on the entire history of OCS involvement, including pre-removal efforts and Tara's cooperation. It affirmed the finding that termination was in the children's best interests. FABE, Justice, dissenting, would have affirmed because Tara's refusal to cooperate supported the superior court's finding that post-removal efforts were reasonable.
