No. 227094
Wayne Circuit Court
Family Division
LC No. 83-236475
Respondent.
Before: Collins, P.J., and Doctoroff and White, JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
Respondents appeal as of right from the family court order terminating their parental
rights to the minor children under MCL 712A.19b(3)(c)(i), (g), (i), and (j); MSA
27.3178(598.19b)(3)(c)(i), (g), (i), and (j). We affirm.
The family court did not clearly err in finding that §§ 19b(3)(c)(i), (g), and (i) were each
established by clear and convincing evidence. MCR 5.974(I); In re Miller, 433 Mich 331, 337;
445 NW2d 161 (1989). Because only one statutory ground is required to terminate parental
rights, In re McIntyre, 192 Mich App 47, 50; 480 NW2d 293 (1993), we need not determine
whether termination was also warranted under § 19b(3)(j). Further, the evidence did not show
that termination of respondents’ parental rights was clearly not in the children’s best interests.
MCL 712A.19b(5); MSA 27.3178(598.19b)(5); In re Trejo, 462 Mich 341, 356-357; 612 NW2d
407 (2000). Therefore, the family court did not err in terminating respondents’ parental rights to
the children.
Affirmed.
/s/ Jeffrey G. Collins
