In re K.A.
Annotate this CaseIn 2013, the Department of Public Health and Human Services (DPHHS) filed a petition seeking emergency protective authority, adjudication of Father’s three minor children as youth in need of care, and temporary legal custody. The district court adjudicated all children as youths in need of care and granted temporary legal custody to DPHHS. In 2015, upon a petition filed by DPHHS and after a hearing, the district court terminated Father’s rights to his three minor children, concluding that Father’s condition that led to the children’s removal was unlikely to change within a reasonable time and that continuation of the parental relationship would likely result in continued abuse or neglect of the children. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the district court did not err in terminating Father’s parental rights.
