Case Summary

A juvenile court terminated a father’s parental rights to three children after the father failed to appear for the termination hearing. The Court of Appeals of Georgia vacated the termination order because the juvenile court did not make the necessary findings that the father had knowingly waived his right to counsel before proceeding without him. The case was remanded for the required findings and further proceedings.
