T.B. Missouri Cases

Mother appealed the termination of her parental rights to Child, raising seven points of error, including challenges to the commissioner's recusal, personal jurisdiction, right to counsel in underlying juvenile proceedings, ineffective assistance of counsel, consideration of her mental condition, and the guardian ad litem's performance. The appellate court affirmed the trial court's judgment, finding no reversible error in any of Mother's points. However, the court remanded the case for the trial court to consider Mother's pending motion for attorney's fees in excess of the regulatory maximum.
