Supreme Court of Rhode Island

In re Nolan V-S.

June 15, 2022

Summary

The Supreme Court of Rhode Island held that the Department of Children, Youth, and Families (DCYF) did make reasonable efforts to reunify the parents with their child Nolan and that the parents were unfit, satisfying the statutory requirements for termination of parental rights. Accordingly, the Court vacated the Family Court decrees and remanded the case for the Chief Judge to make best‑interest findings within sixty days.
