Gremli v. S.D.A.

BRECKENRIDGE, Presiding Judge.

S.D.A. (Mother) appeals from the trial court’s order terminating her parental rights to her four children. The parental rights of R.E.A. (Father) were also terminated, but he does not appeal from that order. In her appeal, Mother claims that the trial court did not have clear, cogent and convincing evidence to support its judgment.
