Citations
- 2024 Ohio 682
Syllabus
The probate court erred by dismissing appellant's adoption petitions for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction where appellant was a lawful permanent resident who was attempting to adopt her two grandchildren, who also were lawful permanent residents. The probate court abused its discretion by dismissing the adoption petitions for failure to prosecute solely due to appellant's failure to advance court costs after the court found appellant was indigent. Judgments reversed and remanded.
