Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court affirmed the orders of the trial court terminating the parental rights of Mother and Father in their three minor children, holding that the trial court did not err or abuse its discretion.
After a hearing, the trial court concluded that grounds existed to terminate Respondents' parental rights pursuant to N.C. Gen. Laws ch. 7B-1111(a)(1)-(3), (6) and that it was in the best interests of the children that Respondents' parental rights be terminated. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding (1) the trial court did not err when it eliminated reunification from the children's permanent plan in the permanency planning order; (2) the permanency planning order continued the statutorily required findings to eliminate reunification from the children's permanent plan; and (3) the trial court did not err in adjudicating the existence of ground for the termination of Mother's parental rights under section 7B-1111(a).
