Termination; Children’s best interests

In an order in lieu of granting leave to appeal, the court vacated the part of the Court of Appeals judgment (see eJournal # 82973 in the 1/24/25 edition) that affirmed the termination of respondent father’s parental rights and remanded the case to that court for reconsideration. It directed the Court of Appeals on remand to allow the father to file a supplemental brief and consider the claims raised in it.
