WI Court of Appeals – District I
Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. S.S.
Case No.: 2017AP2097; 2017AP2098
Officials: DUGAN, J.
Focus: Termination of Parental Rights
S.S. appeals from the orders terminating her parental rights to L.F. and G.F. and the orders denying her postdisposition motion. She contends that the trial court erroneously exercised its discretion in considering the factors for determining the best interests of the children. She further asserts that trial counsel was ineffective for failing to ask for a bonding assessment, to call L.F. and G.F. to testify about their wishes and to request an adjournment in order to have the foster mother appear and testify at the dispositional hearing. We affirm.
