In re Interest of Mya C.
Annotate this CaseWhen Appellant was a minor ward, The Department of Health and Human Services adjudicated Appellant's two daughters under Neb. Rev. Stat. 435-247(3)(a) because of Appellant's neglect. As part of Appellant's reunification plan with her children, the juvenile court required Appellant to continue her high school education. The Department subsequently placed Appellant's children in a foster home, and Appellant aged out of the juvenile court system. The juvenile later changed Appellant's rehabilitation plan and required her to actively pursue a high school diploma or a GED diploma. Appellant appealed, arguing that the requirement to pursue a high school or GED diploma was not reasonably related to correcting the conditions that caused the adjudication. The court of appeals determined that this order was not appealable because it merely continued the court's previous orders. The Supreme Court reversed, holding that the juvenile court's later order did not continue the terms of the previous rehabilitation plan but, instead, imposed a materially different requirement for Appellant's reunification plan with her children. Remanded.
