In Re: Ava H.

Syllabus

Adam R. P. (\Father\) appeals the order of the Juvenile Court for Knox County (\the Juvenile Court\) terminating his parental rights to the minor child Ava H. (\the Child\) after finding and holding that clear and convincing evidence had been proven that grounds existed to terminate Father's parental rights for abandonment by wanton disregard pursuant to Tenn. Code Ann. §§ 36-1-113(g)(1) and 36-1-102(1)(A)(iv) and that it was in the Child's best interest for Father's parental rights to be terminated. We find and hold that grounds were proven by clear and convincing evidence to terminate Father's parental rights and that it was proven by clear and convincing evidence that it was in the Child's best interest for Father's parental rights to be terminated. We, therefore, affirm.
