Grandparents Do Not Have Standing to Appeal the Termination of Parent's Rights

ADVERTISEMENTS

The Court of Civil Appeals dismissed an appeal for lack of standing in G.P. v. Houston County D.H.R., [Ms. 2080591, 2080606] (Ala. Civ. App. Sept. 18. 2009).  The maternal grandmother appealed the termination of parental rights of the parents.  The Court of Civil Appeals held that a grandparent has no legally protected parental rights, and cannot assert arguments on behalf of the parents.  Therefore, the grandmother did not have standing to appeal, and her appeal was dismissed.
