In Re Noah A.

Syllabus

This action involves the termination of both parents' rights to a minor child. Following a trial, the Loudon County Juvenile Court found that clear and convincing evidence existed to support five statutory grounds for termination of both parents' rights: (1) abandonment by failure to establish a suitable home (2) abandonment by an incarcerated parent (3) substantial non-compliance with the permanency plan (4) persistence of conditions and (5) failure to manifest an ability and a willingness to assume custody. The court also found that termination was in the best interest of the child. Both parents appealed. We vacate in part and affirm in part.
