Alaska Supreme Court
Duke S., Appellant v. State of Alaska, Department of Health & Social Services, Office of Children's Services, Appellee.
November 16, 2018433 P.3d 1127
Summary
The court reversed the termination of Duke S.'s parental rights because the evidence did not establish that his son was a child in need of aid under any of the three statutory grounds relied on by the superior court. The court also held that OCS did not make reasonable reunification efforts because it never developed or explained a case plan for Duke and provided only limited assistance during his incarceration.
