In the Matter of the Adoption of C.A.H., A.C.S. (Father) v. R.S.E. and R.K.E. (Grandparents)
20S-AD-5
Adoption. Reverses the Morgan Superior Court’s finding that father’s consent was irrevocably implied in the adoption matter. Remands for a hearing on the merits of his motion to contest the adoption of his child. Finds a parent’s implied consent to the adoption of a child may not be based solely on the parent’s failure to appear at a single hearing.

19A-JV-1659
Juvenile. Reverses the Madison Circuit Court’s grant of juvenile N.B.’s motion to dismiss for lack of subject matter jurisdiction.

Finds the juvenile court erred in granting N.B.’s motion and remands for the juvenile court to rule on the state’s motion for waiver.
