State of Louisiana in the Interest of A.l.d. and L.s.d.

Summary

The Supreme Court of Louisiana reversed the court of appeal and reinstated the district court's judgment terminating C.K.D.'s parental rights to A.L.D. and L.S.D. The court held that clear and convincing evidence established both substantial noncompliance with the case plan and no reasonable expectation of significant improvement in the near future, and that termination served the children's best interests. No separate opinions were filed.
