In re L.E.W.
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court affirmed the orders of the district court eliminating reunification from the permanent plan for Mother's daughter and terminating Mother's parental rights in the child, holding that that district court judge did not err.
Specifically, the Supreme Court held (1) the judge did not commit prejudicial error by misstating the applicable standard of proof, eliminating reunification as a component of the permanent plan for the child, or reducing the amount of visitation that Mother was entitled to have with the child in the permanency planning order; and (2) the judge did not err by finding that Mother's parental rights in the child were subject to termination based upon her willful failure to make reasonable progress toward correcting the conditions that had led to the child's removal from the family home.
