In Re Blake V.

Syllabus

A mother sought to terminate the parental rights of her child's father pursuant to the grounds of abandonment by failure to visit and abandonment by failure to support. At the conclusion of the termination hearing, the trial court concluded that the mother failed to prove any termination grounds by clear and convincing evidence and dismissed her termination petition. Determining that the mother lacked standing to seek termination of the father's parental rights pursuant to those grounds, we affirm the trial court's dismissal of the termination petition.
