People In Interest Of A.M.D. And M.D‪.‬

This appeal involves the termination of the parental relationship between a mother, D.D., and her two children, A.M.D. and M.D. The Weld County District Court adjudicated the children dependent or neglected, and later entered an section 19-11-105, C.R.S. 1973 (1978 Repl. Vol. 8), which has been construed to authorize an order of termination under the preponderance of the evidence standard.*fn1 Because that standard, as so applied, violates due process of law under the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, we reverse the order of termination and remand for a new trial.
