Louisiana in the interest of K.C.C.

In this termination of parental rights case, the court of appeal overruled the juvenile court and sustained the biological parents’ peremptory exception of no right of action, on the basis the couple having custody of the child did not possess a private right of action to petition for termination of parental rights under La. Ch. Code art. 1004. The Louisiana Supreme Court found that the appellate court erred in concluding the petition was improperly brought by private counsel for the custodians upon approval of the juvenile court.
