Hood v. State
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court affirmed the order of the district court granting the Wyoming Department of Family Service's petition to terminate Father's and Mother's parental rights under Wyo. Stat. Ann. 14-2-309(a)(iii) and (a)(v), holding that there was sufficient evidence for the district court to terminate Mother's and Father's parental rights.
After a four-day bench trial, the district court held that the Department proved, by clear and convincing evidence, that Mother's and Father's parental rights should be terminated under sections 14-2-309(a)(iii) and (v) and that it was in the child's best interest to terminate their parental rights. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding (1) the district court had subject matter jurisdiction; and (2) the Department presented sufficient evidence for the district court to terminate Mother's and Father's parental rights under section 14-2-309(a)(v).
