Ray R. v. State, Department of Health & Social Services

MEMORANDUM OPINION AND JUDGMENT *

I. INTRODUCTION

The superior court terminated a father’s parental rights to his daughter, finding that the father had abandoned her and placed her in substantial risk of harm due to his heroin addiction. The father now argues that the superior court erred when it terminated his rights because he should have been given more time to remedy his substance abuse issues. Because the superior court’s finding that the father had failed to remedy his substance abuse was not clearly erroneous, we affirm the termination of his parental rights.
