Juvenile Law Appellate Court Slip Opinions

by Greenlee, Rebecca

 

AC47684 - In re Mikhail M. ("The respondent father, Daniel R., appeals from the judgment of the trial court, rendered in favor of the petitioner, the Commissioner of Children and Families, terminating his parental rights with respect to his minor child, Mikhail M. On appeal, the respondent claims that the court improperly determined that he failed to achieve a sufficient degree of personal rehabilitation pursuant to General Statutes § 17a-112 (j) (3) (B) (i). We find no merit to the respondent’s claim and, accordingly, affirm the judgment of the court.")

AC47796 - In re Hyrum D. ("The petitioner, the Commissioner of Children and Families, appeals from the judgments of the trial court revoking the commitment of the minor children, Hyrum D. and Antonio D., to the custody of the petitioner and returning the children to the custody of the respondent mother, Stephanie V. On appeal, the petitioner claims that the court exceeded its statutory authority when it sua sponte revoked commitment of the minor children to the petitioner’s custody without providing all parties notice and a full evidentiary hearing. We agree and, accordingly, reverse the judgments of the trial court.")
