In Re: Matthew D.

Syllabus

This is an appeal of a termination of a mother's parental rights to her son. Ashley D. (\Petitioner\), who has maintained custody of Matthew D. (\the Child\) since he was four months old, sought termination of the parental rights of Natalie D. (\Mother\).1 The Circuit Court for Roane County (\the Trial Court\) found that clear and convincing evidence established the statutory ground of abandonment by failure to support and that it was in the best interest of the Child that Mother's parental rights be terminated. Mother appeals. We affirm the Trial Court's judgment.
