In Re Travis H.

Syllabus

Father appeals the termination of his parental rights on grounds of: (1) failure to substantially comply with permanency plans (2) abandonment by failure to establish a suitable home (3) persistence of conditions, (4) abandonment by an incarcerated parent for wanton disregard and (5) abandonment by an incarcerated parent for willful failure to support. We vacate the trial court's determination regarding the ground of abandonment by an incarcerated parent for willful failure to support, but otherwise affirm the trial court's determinations regarding the remaining grounds for termination. We likewise affirm the trial court's determination that termination of Father's parental rights is in the child's best interest. Accordingly, we affirm the termination of Father's parental rights.

Judges: Judge J. Steven Stafford
