Supreme Court of Georgia

Beavers v. Provost

December 10, 2018822 S.E.2d 257

Summary

The court affirmed dismissal of the parents' habeas petition challenging the initial dependency removal order that placed their children in foster care. It held that the later adjudication and disposition order superseded the removal order and mooted all alleged defects in that earlier order, leaving no cognizable habeas claim. The parents' separate challenges to the dependency proceedings were required to proceed through the juvenile-court case and its appeal.
