In re Child of Matthew R.

The Supreme Judicial Court affirmed the judgment of the district court terminating Appellant’s parental rights to his son, holding that the court did not err or abuse its discretion in finding that the factors supported termination and that termination of Father’s parental rights was in the child’s best interest.Specifically, the Supreme Judicial Court held that the court did not err or abuse its discretion in finding (1) Father was unwilling or unable to protect the child from jeopardy and that those circumstances were unlikely to change within a time reasonably calculated to meet the child’s needs under Me. Rev. Stat. 22, 4055(1)(B)(2)(a), (b)(i); and (2) termination of Father’s parental rights was in the child’s best interest. View "In re Child of Matthew R." on Justia Law
