Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District / Date unavailable
In the Interest of A.J.C.: L.E.R. and L.C.R. vs. A.J.C.
Mother appealed the termination of her parental rights to Child, arguing the trial court erred in denying her motion to dismiss. She contended that the Child's attorneys-in-fact, who initiated the proceedings, were prohibited from consenting to termination under § 475.602. The appellate court affirmed, holding that § 475.602 limits the delegation of the power to consent to termination, but does not prohibit attorneys-in-fact from petitioning a court for termination as prospective parents under other statutes.
