In re H.S.
Annotate this Case
The juvenile court terminated the noncustodial mother's parental rights to two children after finding termination was in the children's best interests. The court of appeals reversed, giving weight to the fact that termination would end the mother's child support payments. The father of one child filed a timely application for further review, and the other father did not. The Supreme Court vacated the court of appeals and affirmed the juvenile court as to the child whose father filed the application for further review and affirmed as to the other child, holding that the elimination of possible child support may not affect a termination of parental rights proceeding if termination is otherwise in the child's best interests.
