Dickey v. Boxley

STEINFELD, Chief Justice

(dissenting).

KRS 199.520 provides that “After hearing the case the court shall enter a judgment of adoption, if it finds * * * that the petitioners are of good moral character * * * of ability to properly maintain and educate the child * * The chancellor stated he could not make that finding as to Mr. Boxley. The majority opinion ignores the statutory mandate which is a prerequisite to the entry of the Judgment of Adoption. I respectfully dissent.
