In Re Adoption of KBH

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• declining to “read ambiguity” into this ground based on the possibility that the convicted parent may not fully serve the imposed sentence
• rejecting a father’s argument that the possibility of parole should prevent application of a similar ground for termination, now found in Tenn. Code Ann. § 36-1-113(g)(6)(A), because the statute is silent on that issue
• “There is no requirement that the trial court make a written finding on each of the enumerated Section 36–1–113(i) factors.”
• “At the time the statute was enacted, the legislature was certainly aware of parole and other means by which a prisoner could end up released from his or her incarceration prior to expiration of the full sentence, and did not include such circumstances in the language of the statute.”
