STATE OF MICHIGAN
COURT OF APPEALS
In the Matter of A.D.S., Minor.
RENEE BRELOSKI,
UNPUBLISHED
November 8, 2002
Petitioner-Appellee,
v
No. 241117
St. Clair Circuit Court
Family Division
LC No. 00-006697
JASON DEAN HICKS,
Respondent-Appellant.
Before: Griffin, P.J., and Gage and Meter, JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
Respondent appeals as of right from a circuit court order terminating his parental rights to
the minor child pursuant to MCL 710.51(6). We affirm.
The trial court did not clearly err in finding that the statutory grounds for termination had
been proved by clear and convincing evidence. In re ALZ, 247 Mich App 264, 271-272; 636
NW2d 284 (2001). The uncontested evidence presented at the hearing showed that respondent
had at best made one child support payment during the two-year period preceding the filing of
the complaint and had not had any contact with the child apart from a single visit in 1996. Given
that plus the fact that there was no evidence to show that termination was not in the child’s best
interests, id. at 272-273, we find that the trial court did not err in terminating respondent’s
parental rights to the child.
Affirmed.
/s/ Richard Allen Griffin
/s/ Hilda R. Gage
