In re Children of Corey W.

The Supreme Judicial Court affirmed the judgment of the district court terminating Mother’s and Father’s parental rights to two of their children, holding, among other things, that the evidence was sufficient to support the court’s determination that Mother was parentally unfit within the meaning of Me. Rev. Stat. 22, 4055(1)(B)(2)(b)(ii)-(iv).Specifically, the Court held (1) even if the evidence shows that the Department did not fulfill its statutory duty to develop a proper rehabilitation and reunification plan, such a failure is not dispositive of a termination petition; (2) the district court’s determination of Father’s parental unfitness with regard to his two children was supported by competent evidence in the record; and (3) the court’s determination of Mother’s parental unfitness was supported by competent record evidence.
