IN RE CEDRIK C. ET AL.

Posted by: Azya Thornton on Feb 26, 2025

Court: TN Court of Appeals

Attorneys 1: Michael A. Jones, Murfreesboro, Tennessee, for the appellant, Michael W.

Attorneys 2: Wende Jane Rutherford, Nashville, Tennessee, for the appellee, Jacquline W.

Judge(s): USMAN

Father appeals the termination of his parental rights. The trial court found three statutory grounds for termination: abandonment by failure to visit, abandonment by failure to support, and failure to manifest an ability and willingness to assume custody. The trial court also concluded the termination of Father’s parental rights was in the best interest of the child. Because clear and convincing evidence supports that at least one of the termination grounds exists and that termination is in the child’s best interest, we affirm the termination of Father’s parental rights.
