In re M.J.M.
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court affirmed the orders of the district court terminating Mother's parental rights to her two minor children, holding that there was no error in the proceedings below.
This was an appeal in private termination proceedings initiated by the children's paternal aunt to terminate the parental rights of Mother and Father. The trial court concluded that grounds existed to terminate Mother's parental rights to both children for willful failure to pay a reasonable portion of their cost of care and willful abandonment and that it was in the children's best interests to terminate Mother's parental rights. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the trial court had subject-matter jurisdiction over the termination petition and did not err in failing to appoint a guardian ad litem for the children.
