Worley v. Jinks

361 So. 2d 1089 | Ala. | 1978

We originally granted certiorari to consider the jurisdiction of the probate court in light of constitutional amendment 364 which gave that court ". . . general jurisdiction . . . of adoptions. . . ." After a thorough review we conclude that the Court of Civil Appeals correctly held that this grant of jurisdiction is not exclusive and does not alter § 12-12-35, Code of Ala. 1975, providing for transfer of adoption proceedings to the district court on motion of a party. Worleyv. Jinks, 361 So.2d 1082 (Ala.Civ.App. 1978). Consequently, the writ is quashed as improvidently granted.

WRIT QUASHED.
