A. H. v. W. R. L. and M. L.

Summary

The Kentucky Supreme Court reversed the Court of Appeals, reinstating the trial court’s order granting Amy the right to intervene in the step‑parent adoption proceeding and dismissing the adoption action, holding that under CR 24.01(b) Amy has a cognizable custodial interest that justifies intervention. The Court emphasized that standing is not required for intervention and applied a clear‑error standard of review.
