Shella H. v. Department of Child Safety

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that the condition causing the dependency need not be \continuous or actively occurring . . . the substantiated and unresolved threat is sufficient\
• explaining that the juvenile court must decide “whether a child is dependent based upon the circumstances existing at the time of the adjudication hearing”
• holding in dependency that “domestic violence need not be continuous or actively occurring” if it remains substantiated and unresolved, “particularly” where the parent denies the conduct
• affirming a dependency finding because the mother exposed her child to domestic violence, even though the child was not a victim of the domestic violence
• finding “the substantiated and unresolved threat” of domestic violence supports a finding of dependency
• upholding a dependency adjudication that “articulated the wrong moment in time when the dependency must be found” because it was still supported by “objectively sufficient” evidence of a continuing potential threat of regularly occurring domestic violence
