Nebraska Supreme Court

In re Interest of Jordon B.

June 28, 2024316 Neb. 974

Summary

The Nebraska Supreme Court held that Leah had standing to challenge the validity of her parental-rights relinquishment and that the appeal was jurisdictionally proper because the juvenile court denied that challenge in a final order. It further held that the juvenile court violated procedural due process by denying the challenge without providing Leah a meaningful opportunity to present evidence concerning alleged coercion, duress, and involuntariness. The court reversed and remanded for further proceedings; no separate opinions were filed.
