Heading: whether the findings of fact are clearly erroneous.

Text: Mother challenges twenty-two of the fifty-two findings of fact, claiming that they are clearly erroneous. In the past, we have consistently stated that the trial court's findings will not be set aside unless they are clearly erroneous and, after reviewing the evidence, we are left with a firm and definite conviction that a mistake has been made. See Matter of L.B., 416 N.W.2d 598 (S.D.1987); People in Interest of T.H., 396 N.W.2d 145 (S.D.1986); People in Interest of M.W., 374 N.W.2d 889 (S.D. 1985); In re A.M., 292 N.W.2d 103 (S.D. 1980). We have carefully reviewed the transcripts of the testimony and considered the objections to the trial court's findings of fact. We do not find the findings of fact to be clearly erroneous.
