In the Interest of L.F., A Minor Child

Date: 01-29-2019

Case Number: 119,090

Judge: Before MALONE, P.J., BUSER and STANDRIDGE, JJ. PER CURIAM

Court: COURT OF APPEALS OF THE STATE OF KANSAS

Plaintiff's Attorney: Kaitlin M. Dixon, assistant county attorney

Defendant's Attorney: Gregory C. Nye

Outcome:
In sum, we find that the record contains clear and convincing evidence that reasonable efforts to rehabilitate the family failed and that Mother demonstrated a lack of effort to adjust her circumstances and conduct to meet the needs of L.F. The district court's reliance on K.S.A. 2017 Supp. 38-2269(b)(7) and (8) was proper. We find no error in the district court's finding that Mother is unfit and unlikely to change in the foreseeable future. As a result, the district court did not err in terminating Mother's parental rights.



Affirmed.
