concurring specially.
I dissented from the main opinion in State ex rel. E.K.D. v. M.R.W., 662 So.2d 910, 913 (Ala.Civ.App.1994), because I did not agree with Judge Robertson’s interpretation of § 26-17-6(a), Ala.Code 1975. Our supreme court has recognized that the opinion in State ex rel. E.K.D. was a correct statement of the law regarding § 26~17-6(a); therefore, I concur with the opinion in this case. See Ex *283parte State ex rel. State of Ohio, 718 So.2d 669 (Ala.1998).
