Phelps v. Phelps

Jordan, Justice.

Appellee filed a habeas corpus petition seeking custody of her daughter from the appellant, who is the minor child’s paternal grandmother. After a hearing, the trial court issued findings of fact and conclusions of law holding that there was no evidence presented that the mother was unfit in any manner, or that she had abandoned her child or committed any other act that would have forfeited her rights as a mother. Permanent custody was awarded to the mother with the paternal *327grandmother receiving visitation privileges.
