2005Committee Comments The United States Supreme Court held in Santosky v. Kramer, 455 U.S. 745, 769-70 (1982), that the clear and convincing evidence standard is required by the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment for termination of parental rights.

2005The United States Supreme Court decided in the Santosky case that a clear and convincing evidence standard was constitutionally required because the government’s interest in a preponderance standard was less than the interests of the parent and child in a higher standard and because the risk of error from using a preponderance standard was substantial. 455 U.S. at 758 .
