In Re Billy T.W.

Syllabus

In this parental termination action, we conclude that the trial court properly found clear and convincing evidence to terminate the rights of the mother and father on the grounds of failure to provide a suitable home, substantial noncompliance with a permanency plan, and persistence of conditions. We conclude that the trial court erred in terminating the father's rights on the ground of willful failure to visit. Clear and convincing evidence supports the trial court's determination that termination of parental rights is in the best interest of the children.
