In re Parental Rights as to A.P.M.
Annotate this CaseThis appeal concerned the district court’s termination of Father’s parental rights to his two minor children. Father appealed, arguing that the district court should not have terminated his parental rights because he completed his case plan and erred in applying the presumptions in Nev. Rev. Stat. 128.109(1)(a) and 128.109(2). The Supreme Court affirmed, holding (1) the district court may terminate the parental rights of a parent who has completed his or her case plan for reunification if termination is otherwise warranted under Nev. Rev. Stat. 128.105; (2) the district court is not required to wait the entire twenty months before applying the presumptions found in Nev. Rev. Stat. 128.109(1)(a) and 128.109(2), so long as the child has been removed from his parents’ home pursuant to Nev. Rev. Stat. 432B for at least fourteen months during any consecutive twenty-month period; and (3) substantial evidence supported the district court’s decision to terminate Father’s parental rights.
