In Re Jamarcus K.

Syllabus

The parental rights of Taleada K. (\Mother\) and Lashaun K. (\Father\) were terminated by the Juvenile Court for Dickson County on September 8, 2021. Both parents appeal. We affirm the termination of both parents' parental rights to all four of the children for severe abuse, abandonment by failure to provide a suitable home, persistence of conditions, and failure to manifest an ability and willingness to assume custody. We reverse the juvenile court's ruling that Mother's parental rights should be terminated for abandonment by failure to support. We vacate the juvenile court's conclusion that Mother's and Father's parental rights are terminated for substantial noncompliance with the permanency plan. We affirm the juvenile court's conclusion that termination is in the children's best interests and, accordingly, affirm the overall ruling that Mother's and Father's parental rights are terminated.

Judges: Judge Kristi M. Davis
