SS Paying for Attorney fees

03-06-19

We had a termination of parental rights, one parent appealed all the way to the MN Supreme Court.  The appeal was denied.  The courts have now directed our county to pay for this individual’s attorney fees and he was granted forma pauperis.  We already pay for both of the conflict attorneys during the termination and adoption process.  Has anyone ran into this?  Who is responsible to pay these fees?  If the social services area is responsible, did you pay under brass 119?  Thank you in advance for any help!

Thanks-

Have other counties updated their Procurement Policy due to the OMB Memo dated June 20, 2018 M-18-18 to reflect the new standards?  CliftonLarsonAllen Compliance: Procurement Policies
