INDIANAPOLIS The Indiana Court of Appeals affirmed a ruling in which a Madison County trial court sided with a father in a dispute with maternal grandparents seeking to adopt their grandchild.
The nine-page memorandum decision authored by Judge LeAnna K. Weissmann upheld Madison Circuit Court 1 Judge Angela Warner-Sims’ finding that the father’s lack of contact and support for the child born in 2016 did not override his right to consent to the adoption.
“As Father’s consent was required but not granted, the trial court properly denied Maternal Grandparents’ petition to adopt Z.H.,” the appeals court said.
