Juvenile Law Appellate Court Slip Opinion

by Greenlee, Rebecca

 

AC 47605 - In re Zarirai S. ("The respondent mother, Crystal S., appeals from the judgments of the trial court rendered in favor of the petitioner, the Commissioner of Children and Families, terminating her parental rights with respect to her minor children, Z and L. On appeal, the respondent claims that the court improperly determined that she had failed to achieve a sufficient degree of rehabilitation because (1) the court’s determination was not supported by the evidence, (2) the court impermissibly compared the parenting of the respondent with that of the children’s foster parents, and (3) the court failed to apply the proper legal standard by ‘‘add[ing] a requirement of a ‘guarantee’ that the [respondent] must be able to rehabilitate within six months.’’ We affirm the judgments of the trial court.")
