In re J.M.J.-J
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court affirmed the order of the trial court terminating Father's parental rights to his minor child, holding that the trial court did not err in adjudicating neglect as a ground to terminate Father's parental rights to his minor child pursuant to N.C. Gen. Stat. 7B-1111(a)(1).
After a hearing, the trial court entered an order concluding that grounds existed to terminate Father's parental rights based on neglect and abandonment. See N.C. Gen. Stat. 7B-1111(a)(1), (7). The trial court further concluded that termination of Father's parental rights was in the child's best interests. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the trial court's conclusion that a ground for termination existed pursuant to section 7B-1111(a)(1) was sufficient in and of itself to support the termination of Father's parental rights.
