M.D.C. v. K.D.
Supreme Court of Alabama
1Opinion of the Court
BOLIN, Justice.
M.D.C. (“the mother”) petitioned this Court for a writ of certiorari after the Court of Civil Appeals affirmed the trial court’s judgment holding that the obligation of K.D. (“the father”) to pay child support was automatically extinguished when his parental rights were terminated. We granted certiorari review to consider a material question of first impression for this Court: whether the Alabama Child Protection Act, § 26-18-1 et seq., Ala. Code 1975 (“CPA”),1 which governs the termination of parental rights, also terminates a parent’s responsibility to pay child support.
