Listen to this article

Kimberly A.M. appeals orders terminating her parental rights to two of her four children. She argues: (1) she was denied due process because the trial court conducted an in camera interview with the two children outside the presence of Kimberly and her trial counsel; and (2) her trial counsel was ineffective for failing to object to the in camera interview and for failing to seek a new dispositional hearing. We disagree and affirm the orders.

In consolidated cases, Louis A.W., the father of Amanda, Damien and April, appeals the orders terminating his parental rights. His counsel filed a no merit report. We conclude that the no merit report accurately describes the record and correctly analyzes the issues.

Therefore, we affirm the order terminating Louis’s parental rights.

This opinion will not be published.

Dist III, Brown County, Zuidmulder, J., Peterson, J.
