Guardianship of Hailey M.
Supreme Judicial Court of Maine
1Opinion of the CourtSaufley, C.J.
[¶ 1] The mother of sixteen-year-old Hailey M. 1 appeals from a judgment entered by the Cumberland County Probate Court (Mazziotti, J.) granting Hailey’s paternal grandparents’ petition for guardianship. The mother challenges the court’s findings- and argues that the award of full guardianship — rather than a limited guardianship — to the paternal grandparents, with no arrangement for transition back into the mother’s home, unreasonably infringed on her fundamental right to parent; her daughter in violation of her substantive due process- .rights. We affirm the judgment.
