No. 238917
Wayne Circuit Court
Family Division
LC No. 00-388884
DENISE CANNON-SIGNIL,
Respondent-Appellant,
and
KEVIN CHARLES SIGNIL,
Respondent.
Before: Hoekstra, P.J., and Wilder and Zahra, JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
Respondent appeals as of right the trial court’s order terminating her parental rights to her
minor children pursuant to MCL 712A.19b(3)(c)(i) (g) & (j).1 We affirm. This appeal is being
decided without oral argument pursuant to MCR 7.214(E).
After reviewing the evidence presented, we find that the trial court did not clearly err in
finding that § § 19b(3)(c)(i) and (g) were established by clear and convincing evidence. MCR
5.974(I); In re Sours, 459 Mich 624, 633; 593 NW2d 520 (1999). Respondent remained
unemployed for a majority of the time the children were in foster care, and failed to provide
verification of employment at the termination hearing. In addition, respondent failed to make her
home suitable for the children and failed to address the domestic violence issues that were
harmful to her and the children. Because the trial court need only find one ground for
termination, this Court need not reach the issue of whether respondent’s parental rights were
properly terminated under 712A.19b(3)(j). In re Trejo Minors, 462 Mich 341, 350; 612 NW2d

407 (2000). The evidence also did not show that termination of respondent’s parental rights was
clearly not in the children’s best interests. MCL 712A.19b(5). Id., at 353-354. Thus, the trial
court did not err in terminating respondent’s parental rights.
Affirmed.
