Daggett v. County of Maricopa

This appeal is taken by the natural father from the order of the juvenile court adjudicating the minor dependent as to him. The relevant facts are as follows. When the natural mother was approximately 17 years old, she ran away from home with the natural father and lived with him and his wife in Utah, where she became pregnant with the minor who is the subject of this dependency. The evidence established that the mother suffers from a learning disability, which adversely affects both her learning and memory skills. Her parents (grandparents) were declared her guardians in Utah judicial proceedings and obtained her custody and returned with her to Tucson.
