IN RE ELLA H.

Syllabus

In this termination of parental rights case, Appellants Mother and Stepfather appeal the trial court's finding that termination of Father's parental rights was not in the Child's best interest. Appellee Father appeals the trial court's finding that he abandoned the Child by willful failure to visit and willful failure to support. Upon review, we conclude that Father abandoned the Child by willful failure to visit and support. Because the record supports the conclusion that termination of Father's parental rights is in the Child's best interest, we reverse the trial court as to this issue, and we remand for entry of an order terminating Father's parental rights.
