1Opinion of the CourtJabar, J.

[¶ 1] The father of J.H., J.H., J.H., and J.H. appeals from a judgment of the Cumberland County Probate Court (Mazziotti, J.) terminating his parental rights pursuant to 22 M.R.S. § 4055(1)(B)(2)(a), (b)(i) (2014). We conclude that the court did not err in presuming jeopardy against the father pursuant to 22 M.R.S. § 4055(1-A)(A) (2014), and that the evidence supports the court’s findings by a clear and convincing standard. We therefore affirm the judgment.
