In re E.M.
Annotate this Case
James J. and Sarah J. appealed the denial of their petition to declare Sarah's three children free from the custody and control of the children's father, Christopher M. James and Sarah also contended that the court did not have jurisdiction to issue a temporary visitation order allowing Christopher to have supervised visitation with the children during the pendency, or upon dismissal, of the petition to terminate parental rights. Finally, they contested the order directing them to pay Christopher's attorney fees. Christopher requested that the Court of Appeal dismiss this appeal as frivolous and impose sanctions. The Court affirmed the findings and orders of the trial court after review of the record, and denied Christopher's request for sanctions.
