In Re Logan F.

Syllabus

This appeal concerns a petition to terminate a father's parental rights. The trial court found by clear and convincing evidence that four grounds for termination existed: (1) abandonment by failure to visit (2) abandonment by failure to support (3) incarceration under a ten-year sentence and (4) failure to manifest an ability and willingness to assume custody or financial responsibility. The trial court also found that termination was in the best interest of the child. The father appeals. We reverse the trial court's finding that clear and convincing evidence established the grounds of abandonment by failure to visit and abandonment by failure to support. However, we affirm its findings that the remaining grounds were proven and that termination was in the best interest of the child.
