If this passes, an appeal of a termination of parental rights case will go straight from Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court, a court not of record, to the Court of Appeals. What record will the Court of Appeals have available to conduct its review? Shouldn't there be some provision for a court reporter and for preservation of the record in Juvenile Court?
"everything" done in JDR Courts as it relates to 'visitation', 'support' or 'custody' SHOULD be held with a Court Reporter AND SHOULD have appeals directly to the Court of Appeals..
