Opinion
No. 41433.
June 27, 1969.
Appeal and error — appealable order — order terminating parental rights.
Parent and child — custody — termination of parental rights — propriety.
Appeal by Jean Anderson Williams from an order of the St. Louis County District Court, Donald E. Anderson, Judge, terminating her parental rights to Rodney and Kay Anderson, her minor children, upon the petition of the St. Louis County Welfare Department. Affirmed.
Bruce W. J. Meyer, for appellant.
Douglas M. Head, Attorney General, John C. Arko, County Attorney, and Keith M. Brownell, Assistant County Attorney, for respondent.
Heard before Knutson, C. J., and Murphy, Rogosheske, Sheran, and Peterson, JJ.
In custody proceedings the district court ordered termination of parental rights, and this appeal has been taken from that determination. Because of the language of Minn. St. 260.241, we are treating the order as equivalent to a judgment.
The issue is whether the findings of fact and conclusions of law of the trial court are adequately supported by the evidence. Because a detailed statement of the facts would serve no useful purpose, we limit this opinion to the statement that we have found that the evidence does adequately support the trial judge's decision.
The trial court reserved jurisdiction to determine the matter of attorneys' fees on account of services rendered on the appeal, and to this we accede.
Affirmed.
