In Re Piper B.

Syllabus

A mother's parental rights to her two daughters were terminated on the grounds of abandonment by failure to support substantial noncompliance with permanency plans failure to manifest an ability and willingness personally to assume legal and physical custody or financial responsibility for the children and persistence of conditions. The court also found that termination was in the children's best interest. The mother appeals. Upon our review, we hold that the evidence in the record does not support a finding that Mother willfully failed to abandon the children by her failure to pay support in all other respects, we affirm the termination.

Judges: Judge Richard H. Dinkins
