In Re James H., III

Syllabus

James H., II (\Father\) appeals the termination of his parental rights to the minor child, James H., III (\the Child\). In April 2017, Ashley P. (\Mother\) and Trinity P. (\Stepfather\) filed a petition to terminate Father's parental rights in the Weakley County Chancery Court (\Trial Court\). Following a trial, the Trial Court terminated Father's parental rights on two grounds of abandonment due to Father's willful failure to visit the Child and willful failure to support the Child prior to Father's incarceration. The Trial Court further found that termination of Father's parental rights was in the Child's best interest. Discerning no error, we affirm.

Judges: Chief Judge D. Michael Swiney
