Juveniles, Juvenile Officer, Respondent, v. K.H., f/k/a, K.A.C-A., Appellant. (2025)

Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District.

In the INTEREST OF: E.D.A., and B.M.A., Juveniles, Juvenile Officer, Respondent, v. K.H., f/k/a, K.A.C-A., Appellant.

WD 87156 (Consolidated with WD 87165)

Decided: January 28, 2025

Before Division Three: W. Douglas Thomson, Presiding Judge, Karen King Mitchell and Thomas N. Chapman, Judges

Bryan McMahon, Liberty, MO, Attorney for Respondents. Matthew Merryman, Kansas City, MO, Attorney for Appellant.

Order

K.H. (Mother) appeals from the judgments terminating her parental rights to E.D.A. and B.M.A. (collectively, Children).¹ Mother raises one point on appeal. She argues that the trial court erred by terminating her parental rights under §§ 211.447.5(1)-(3), (5)(a)-(b)² for failing to rectify conditions of a potentially harmful nature because the court's conclusion that Children's Division made diligent and repeated efforts to assist Mother in rectifying those conditions was not supported by substantial evidence. Finding no error, we affirm. Rule 84.16(b).

FOOTNOTES

1. The trial court issued two separate but nearly identical judgments, one for each Child.

2. All statutory references are to the Revised Statutes of Missouri (Cum. Supp. 2023).
