In Re: Hayden L.

Syllabus

This is a termination of parental rights case. Mother/Appellant appeals the trial court's termination of her parental rights to the minor child on the grounds of: (1) abandonment by an incarcerated parent by willful failure to visit, willful failure to support, and wanton disregard, Tenn. Code Ann. §§ 36-1-113(g)(1), 36-1-102(1)(A)(iv) (2) severe child abuse, Tenn. Code Ann. § 36-1-113(g)(4) and (3) incarceration under a sentence of ten years or more imposed when the child was less than eight years old, Tenn. Code Ann. § 36-1-113(g)(6). Mother also appeals the trial court's determination that termination of her parental rights is in the child's best interest. On appeal, Appellee does not defend the ground of abandonment by willful failure to support. Because there is insufficient evidence concerning Mother/Appellant's employment and earning potential, we reverse the trial court's termination of Mother/Appellant's parental rights on the ground of abandonment by willful failure to support. The order is otherwise affirmed.
