WI Court of Appeals – District IV

Case Name: G.K. v. S.C.

Case No.: 2019AP1645; 20191646; 20191647

Officials: GRAHAM, J.

Focus: Termination of Parental Rights

This is an appeal of a decision terminating S.C.’s parental rights to three children, E.S.K., M.A.K., and M.J.C. S.C. argues that the circuit court erred when it determined that there were grounds to terminate her parental rights under WIS. STAT. § 48.415(4). Specifically, she argues that an earlier order in a family court proceeding was defective and therefore cannot be the basis for terminating her parental rights. I affirm the judgment of the circuit court because S.C.’s argument is based on an incorrect interpretation of § 48.415(4).
