Appeal from an order of the Family Court, Wyoming County (Michael F. Griffith, J.),entered October 9, 2007 in a proceeding pursuant to Family Court Act article 10. The orderrevoked a suspended judgment and terminated respondent's parental rights.
It is hereby ordered that the order so appealed from is unanimously affirmed without costs.
Memorandum: On appeal from an order revoking a suspended judgment and terminating herparental rights with respect to two of her children, respondent mother contends that Family Courterred in determining that she violated the terms of the suspended judgment. We reject thatcontention. Indeed, petitioner established by a preponderance of the evidence that the motherviolated various terms and conditions of the suspended judgment (see Matter of Aaron S., 15 AD3d585 [2005]). Although each violation, viewed separately, may have been trivial, theviolations as a whole, taken together with the mother's history, demonstrate "a lack ofcommitment and inability to make any significant progress in developing a meaningful parentalrelationship with the child[ren]" (Matterof Christian Lee R., 38 AD3d 235, 236 [2007], lv denied 8 NY3d 813 [2007]).Present—Martoche, J.P., Centra, Peradotto, Green and Gorski, JJ.
