In re Guardianship of J.C

In In re Guardianship of J.C., 245 N.J. Super. 373, 585 A.2d 965 (App.Div.1991), aff'd, 129 N.J. 1, 608 A.2d 1312 (1992), in reliance on a post-trial bonding report, the trial court issued an order terminating parental rights. The Court concluded that it was improper for the trial court to issue its order without giving the parent the right to examine the expert that prepared the report. Id. at 375-76, 585 A.2d 965. Indeed, in that case the parties had not even seen the report before the court issued its decision in reliance upon it. Accordingly, the Court remanded the matter to allow the parent to examine the expert and offer evidence to rebut the expert's opinion. Id. at 377, 585 A.2d 965.
