In Re Braylee B.

Syllabus

John B. (\Father\) appeals the termination of his parental rights to the minor child, Braylee B. (\the Child\). In September 2019, Brook W. (\Mother\) and Charles W. (\Stepfather\) filed a petition to terminate Father's parental rights in the Scott County Chancery Court (\Trial Court\). Father filed a motion to compel discovery and continue the trial, which was denied by the Trial Court. Following a trial, the Trial Court terminated Father's parental rights on two grounds of abandonment due to Father's failure to support the Child and his wanton disregard for the Child's welfare. The Trial Court further found by clear and convincing evidence that termination of Father's parental rights was in the Child's best interest. Discerning no error, we affirm.

Judges: Judge D. Michael Swiney
