Juvenile Law Appellate Court Slip Opinion

by Greenlee, Rebecca

 

AC47268, AC47368 - In re Andrew C. ("These appeals arise from a child protection matter concerning the care and custody of the minor child, Andrew C. Andrew and his intervening foster parents separately appeal, in Docket Nos. AC 47368 and AC 472681 respectively, from the judgment of the trial court, granting the motion, filed by the respondent father of Andrew, Chester C. (respondent), to open and vacate the court’s judgment, rendered almost two years earlier, granting the foster parents’ motion to transfer guardianship of Andrew to themselves. We agree with the trial court that the foster parents did not have standing to intervene in this action and, thus, that the court did not have subject matter jurisdiction to adjudicate their motion to transfer guardianship of Andrew. We therefore affirm the judgment of the trial court.")
