Syllabus

The trial court did not err when it held that appellee-father's consent to child's adoption was required. Appellee had more than de minimis contact with the child in the year prior to the filing of the adoption petition, and although he did not provide maintenance and support as set forth in a divorce decree, his extensive medical issues provided justifiable cause for the non-payment. Judgment affirmed.
