In re Child of Mercedes D.

Supreme Judicial Court of Maine

Decided November 13, 2018No. Docket: Yor-18-236PublishedCited by 9 opinions

1Per curiam

[¶ 1] The mother and father of a child appeal from a judgment of the District Court (Biddeford, Foster, J. ) terminating their parental rights to the child pursuant to 22 M.R.S. § 4055(1)(A)(1)(a) and (B)(2)(a), (b)(i)-(ii), (iv) (2017). The mother challenges the court's denial of her motion to continue the termination hearing and appoint a guardian ad litem 1 for her. The father challenges the sufficiency of the evidence supporting the court's determinations that he is parentally unfit and that termination of his parental rights is in the best interest of the child. We affirm the judgment.
