Description
We granted certiorari in this case to determine whether the Court of Civil Appeals erred in holding that the 1984 Child Protection
Act, Ala. Code 1975, §§ 26-18-1 to 26-18-10, requires a juvenile court to make a "finding of dependency"
before parental rights can be terminated. The trial court determined that a finding of dependency was not required; the Court
of Civil Appeals, citing Ex parte Brooks, 513 So.2d 614 (Ala. 1987), reversed. Because we hold that, when one parent seeks
to terminate the other parent's parental rights, a "finding of dependency," as a matter of law, is not required, we reverse
the judgment of the Court of Civil Appeals, 1 and remand the cause with instructions. In 1981, Karen Walker married Byron Beasley. Byron was initially employed in a steel plant located in Bessemer, Alabama,
where Karen and Byron purchased a home. After Karen became pregnant, Byron quit his job at the steel plant and got a job transporting
musical groups touring the country. When Karen gave birth to their son, Barrett Ryan Beasley, Byron was given a two-week leave
of absence from his job so that he could spend time with Karen and the son. Despite the two-week leave given to him, Byron
chose to return to his job transporting a musical group in California and thus left three days after his son's birth.
