In Re: the Adoption of K.T.; J.J. and C.T. v. G.C. and C.B.
20A-AD-2102
Adoption. Affirms the order finding that mother C.T. and father J.J.’s consent to the adoption of their minor child, K.T., was not necessary.

20A-PL-2366
Civil plenary. Affirms the order for Sandra A. King and Danielle D. Benge to remove or reduce the size of their pole barn within 90 days. Finds that even though there are other violations of the covenants in the subdivision, they are on the “other” side of the subdivision and “not practically within sigh” of the property owned by Dan and Alice Dejanovic. Also finds the Dejanovics’ failure to object to the other violations does not deprive them of the right to enforce the covenant for a violation right next door that directly interferes with the use and enjoyment of their property.
