In re C.L.H.
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court reversed in part and vacated and remanded in part the trial court's order terminating Respondent's parental rights to his child, holding that this case was, in large part, controlled by In re K.N., 837 S.E.2d 861 (N.C. 2020), necessitating reversal in part and vacatur in part.
Petitioner, the child's mother, filed a motion to terminate Respondent's parental rights. The trial court determined that grounds existed to terminate Respondent's parental rights pursuant to N.C. Gen. Stat. 7B-1111(a)(1), (4), and (6) and that it was in the child's best interests that Petitioner's parental rights be terminated. The Supreme Court reversed the portions of the trial court's order concluding that Respondent's parental rights were subject to termination under sections 7B-1111(a)(1) and (6) and vacated the portions of the order adjudicating grounds for termination under section 7B-1111(a)(4), holding that the trial court erred by concluding that grounds existed pursuant to sections 7B-1111(a)(1) and (6) and that the court's findings of fact were insufficient to support termination based on section 7B-1111(a)(4).
