Description

1 We have previously granted certiorari in this case to review a properly certified interlocutory order by the trial court in a proceeding involving the child support provisions of a divorce decree entered between petitioner John Merrell and respondent Vickie Merrell in 1973. The order for review denied petitioners motion to dismiss an application for contempt citation for failure to pay child support and an accompanying motion to modify the divorce decree to increase child support payments which had been filed by respondent. The basis for petitioners motion to dismiss was his assertion that an unappealed, and now final, 1977 adjudication in a collateral adoption proceeding concerning the parties minor child, which had declared the child eligible for adoption without petitioners consent, had terminated petitioners parental rights and obligations as to the child, including the obligation to pay support. As no final decree of adoption was ever entered in the collateral adoption proceedings, the question presented to this Court is the determination of the precise effect on the parent/child status relationship of a decree holding the parents consent not to be necessary in an adoption proceeding.
