In re Tasha R.

Supreme Judicial Court of Maine

Decided May 8, 2018No. Docket: Pen–17–520Published

1Per curiam

[¶ 1] Tasha R. appeals from a judgment of the District Court (Bangor, Jordan, J. ) terminating her parental rights to two of her children pursuant to 22 M.R.S. § 4055(1)(A)(1)(a) and (B)(2)(a), (b)(i)-(ii), (iv) (2017). Contrary to the mother's contention, the court did not abuse its discretion in proceeding with the termination hearing notwithstanding her request to replace her court-appointed counsel. The mother does not challenge the court's findings by clear and convincing evidence of parental unfitness and that termination is in the children's best interests. See In re Zarianna C. , 2018…
