Illinois Appellate Court
Civil Court
Termination of Parental Rights
Court terminated parental rights of father of minor, then age 6. Father failed to raise issue of personal jurisdiction for almost 2 years after he was identified as the father and was appointed counsel. That delay was unreasonable, and laches applies. Father is chargeable with want of due diligence in assertion that court lacked personal jurisdiction for adjudication and dispositional orders.(McBRIDE and BURKE, concurring.)
