Special Immigrant Juvenile Status Maryland Court of Appeals ruling addressing the standard that is to be applied when courts enter conclusions of law that reunification with a parent who subjected the child to abuse, abandonment or neglect was not viable. In making this determination the trial courts must apply the Maryland law definitions of abuse, neglect and abandonment and must look at whether reunification would be unworkable. The higher exacting standard that courts apply in termination of parental rights proceedings are not the standards to be applied in SIJS cases. The case includes a significant discussion of SIJS legislative history and purpose, the SIJS process, the trial court’s obligation to make SIJS findings, the burden of proof in SIJS cases, and the legal standards to apply when courts make SIJS judicial determinations. 463 Md. 182, *185; 205 A.3d 903, **905; 2019 Md. LEXIS 163 (April 1, 2019).
