In Re Jackson D.
Syllabus
Ricky D. (\Father\) appeals the termination of his parental rights to his minor child, Jackson D. (\the Child\). In July 2018, Heather M. (\Mother\) and her husband, Jason M. (\Stepfather\), filed a petition to terminate Father's parental rights to the Child in the Bradley County Chancery Court (\Trial Court\). Following a trial, the Trial Court found that Mother and Stepfather had proven by clear and convincing evidence the ground of Father's ten-year sentence entered when the Child was younger than eight years old and that termination of Father's parental rights was in the best interest of the Child. Discerning no error, we affirm.
