Sherry R., Appellant v. State of Alaska, Department of Health & Social Services, Office of Children's Services…

Summary

The Alaska Supreme Court affirmed the termination of Sherry R.'s parental rights to Jake. It held that clear and convincing evidence supported findings that Sherry had not timely remedied her substance abuse and persistent interference with Jake's treatment, that OCS satisfied its reasonable-efforts obligation despite unnecessarily prolonging reunification services, and that termination served Jake's best interests. No separate opinions were provided.
