In re N.D.A.
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court vacated the order of the trial court terminating Father's parental rights in his minor child on the grounds of neglect and willful abandonment, holding that the findings in the trial court's order were insufficient to support the termination of Father's parental rights on either of the grounds upon which the termination order rested.
After a hearing, the trial court entered an order finding that grounds existed to terminate Father's parental rights in the child based on neglect and willful abandonment and that termination of Father's parental rights would be in the child's best interests. The Supreme Court vacated the trial court's order and remanded this case to the district court for further proceedings, holding that the trial court's findings of fact were insufficient to support its determination that Father's parental rights to the child were subject to termination on the grounds of neglect and abandonment and that the trial court did not fail to act impartially during the termination hearing.
