WI Court of Appeals – District II
Case Name: Walworth County Department of Health & Human Services v. S.S.K.
Case No.: 2019AP782
Officials: REILLY, P.J.
Focus: Termination of Parental Rights
S.S.K. appeals from an order terminating her parental rights to A.L.S., arguing that the circuit court erred by relying solely on her admission to the allegations against her in the termination of parental rights (TPR) petition at the grounds phase. S.S.K. argues that in addition to her admission, the court needed to take testimony pursuant to WIS. STAT. § 48.422(3) and (7). We disagree and affirm the order terminating S.S.K’s parental rights.
