In Re the Adoption of M.P.S., Jr.; A.S. v. M.P.S., Sr., M.S., and An.S.
88A01-1108-AD-387
Adoption. Reverses denial of mother A.S.’s motion for relief from judgment, where she alleges fraud, duress and lack of procedural due process in the adoption of M.P.S. Jr. by the child’s grandparents. In light of the extremely irregular and – to some extent – fraudulent circumstances surrounding the adoption of M.P.S., Jr., mother has met her burden to set aside the adoption. Her consent was invalid as a matter of law. Remands to the trial court with instructions to vacate the adoption decree and to comply with Indiana Code 31-14-13-1, which vests sole legal custody of a child born out of wedlock in the biological mother.
