FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY,
UNPUBLISHED
January 8, 2004
Petitioner-Appellee,
v
No. 249915
Kent Circuit Court
Family Division
LC No. 02-261000-NA
ANTOINETTE AMSHEY,
Respondent-Appellant,
and
MALCOLM GUYTON, RONALD SOUTHARD
and LOUIS CONSTANT,
Respondents.
Before: Donofrio, P.J., and Griffin and Jansen, JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
Respondent Amshey appeals as of right from a circuit court order terminating her
parental rights to the minor children pursuant to MCL 712A.19b(3)(c)(i) and (g). We affirm.
The trial court did not clearly err in finding that at least one statutory ground for
termination had been proved by clear and convincing evidence. In re IEM, 233 Mich App 438,
450; 592 NW2d 751 (1999). Respondent made minimal efforts to comply with the treatment
plan and failed to complete all but one goal. Although the children had been in alternate
placement for nearly a year, respondent had yet to obtain suitable housing and a means of
income. Further, the trial court’s finding regarding the child’s best interests was not clearly
erroneous. In re Trejo Minors, 462 Mich 341, 354, 356-357; 612 NW2d 407 (2000); MCL
712A.19b(5). Therefore, the trial court did not clearly err in terminating respondent’s parental
rights. Id.
