Georgia Court of Appeals
In The Interest Of C. S., A Minor Child
Automated case summary
What the court decided
The legal issue involved whether a person without a substantial relationship to a child could qualify as fictive kin under Georgia law when placed in foster care. The Georgia Court of Appeals REVERSED the juvenile court's order because it found that the statute requires a substantial and positive relationship with the child, which was absent in this case, and REMANDED for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
