View this case - free  

Overview: Mother, whose parental rights were terminated, lacked standing to raise due process challenge to statute authorizing service by single publication, Colo. Rev. Stat. § 19-3-502(8)(b), because lack of notice which caused her to lose custody resulted from her actions in concealing herself from law enforcement, so her claimed injury was self-inflicted.
