Matter of D.G. and R.G.

Summary

The Montana Supreme Court reviewed a district court order terminating D.W.’s parental rights to R.G. and D.G. The Court held that the approved treatment plans were appropriate, that D.W. had not successfully complied with them, and that the district court did not abuse its discretion in terminating her parental rights.

Holdings

1. The treatment plans were appropriate because they addressed D.W.'s medical and psychological circumstances, including requirements that she obtain licensed medical or psychological diagnosis and treatment and follow the resulting recommendations.
2. The District Court did not abuse its discretion in terminating D.W.'s parental rights to R.G. and D.G.

Questions Presented

1. Whether the District Court abused its discretion by terminating D.W.'s parental rights under Montana Code Annotated § 41-3-609.
2. Whether the District Court clearly erred in finding that D.W. failed to successfully comply with appropriate court-approved treatment plans.

Disposition

affirmed
