In Re Hannah C.

Syllabus

This is a termination of parental rights case. The trial court terminated Appellant's parental rights to the minor child on the grounds of: (1) abandonment by willful failure to support or visit (2) abandonment by an incarcerated parent by wanton disregard and (3) on grounds codified at Tennessee Code Annotated Section 36-1-113(g)(9)(A) et seq. Because Appellees did not meet their burden to show that Father willfully failed to support or visit the child, and because Appellees did not meet their burden to show that Father had the financial means to pay for his reasonable share of prenatal and postnatal support, we reverse the trial court's findings as to these grounds. We affirm as to the other grounds found by the trial court. We also affirm the trial court's finding that termination of Appellant's parental rights is in the best interest of the minor child.
