In re Adoption of C.H.M.
Annotate this CaseThe Supreme Court reversed the decision of the Court of Appeals that affirmed the order of the trial court requiring Father’s consent before proceeding with the adoption of a minor child (Child), holding that the evidence was legally insufficient to support the trial court’s order. Specifically, the Court held (1) as a matter of law, Father’s evidence did not establish that he made reasonable and consistent payments for the support of Mother or Child before the filing of the adoption petition; and (2) therefore, the evidence was legally insufficient to support the trial court’s order requiring Father’s consent.
