Miranda T. v. State of Alaska Dhss, Ocs

Summary

The court affirmed the disposition order maintaining OCS custody of Bishope, concluding that the superior court properly declined to reach the moot challenge to delaying a placement-review hearing, correctly refused to enforce superseded placement agreements, and did not abuse its discretion in admitting therapist Cohen's testimony. It also held that the evidence supported the findings that OCS had made active reunification efforts and that returning Bishope to Miranda's custody was likely to cause serious emotional damage. The court therefore upheld the disposition order without remand.
