In Re: Avagaline S.

Syllabus

In this termination of parental rights case, Appellant Mother appeals the trial court's termination of her parental rights to the minor child on the ground of failure to manifest an ability and willingness to parent the child, Tenn. Code Ann. § 36-1-113(g)(14). Similarly, Appellant Father appeals the trial court's termination of his parental rights on the grounds of: (1) abandonment by failure to visit, Tenn. Code Ann. § 36-1-113(g)(1) (2) abandonment by failure to support, Tenn. Code Ann. § 36-1-113(g)(1) and (3) failure to manifest an ability and willingness to parent the child, Tenn. Code Ann. § 36-1-113(g)(14). Appellants also appeal the trial court's finding that termination of their parental rights is in the child's best interest. Because the record does not support grounds for termination of Appellants' parental rights, we reverse the trial court's order concerning same. Accordingly, the issue of whether termination is in the Child's best interest is pretermitted.
