WI Court of Appeals – District IV
Case Name: Adams County Department of Human Services v. S.D.
Case No.: 2018AP466
Officials: LUNDSTEN, P.J.
Focus: Termination of Parental Rights
S.D. appeals the circuit court’s order terminating her parental rights to her child, R.S. S.D.’s parental rights were terminated under a three-month abandonment provision in WIS. STAT. § 48.415(1)(a)2. She argues that the circuit court erred by granting summary judgment against her because she raised genuine issues of material fact, and that the order should be vacated because she did not receive effective assistance of counsel. For the reasons that follow, I affirm.
