516 So. 2d 242 | Ala. Civ. App. | 1987
This is a termination of parental rights case.
The mother appealed and, through able counsel, admits that the seven-year-old child is dependent, but contends that the trial court should not have terminated such rights since another viable alternative thereto existed.
"Once dependency is found, the court must decide if less drastic measures than termination of parental rights would better serve the best interests of the child." Matter ofBurnett,
We affirm.
The foregoing opinion was prepared by Retired Circuit Judge EDWARD N. SCRUGGS while serving on active duty status as a judge of this court under the provisions of section
AFFIRMED.
All the Judges concur. *243
