In Re Rommie H.

Syllabus

A mother appeals the termination of her parental rights to her child. The trial court concluded that the paternal grandparents had proven three statutory grounds for terminating the mother's parental rights: abandonment by failure to visit abandonment by failure to support and failure to manifest an ability and willingness to assume custody of her child. The court also concluded that termination of the mother's parental rights was in the child's best interest. On appeal, the mother argues that the grandparents' petition did not sufficiently plead the statutory grounds for termination. And even if sufficiently pled, the mother argues that the evidence of the grounds and the child's best interest was less than clear and convincing. We affirm.
