In the Interest of P. D. W.

Court of Appeals of Georgia

Decided February 18, 2009No. A09A0484PublishedCited by 36 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

BLACKBURN, Presiding Judge.

The mother of W C. W., E D. W, and E N. W. appeals from an order terminating her parental rights as to all three children. She challenges the sufficiency of the evidence and argues that the juvenile court erred in failing to appoint her counsel or to allow her to obtain counsel. We hold that the evidence supported the termination order. However, because the juvenile court erred in failing to conduct the proper inquiries and to make the proper findings regarding the mother’s lack of counsel, we must vacate the judgment and remand the case for further proceedings.
