In re J.E.H.
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court affirmed the order of the trial court terminating Mother's parental rights to her five children, holding that the issues identified by counsel as arguably supporting the appeal were meritless.
The Department of Social Services filed a termination of parental rights petition for all of Mother's children, alleging grounds for termination under N.C. Gen. Stat. 7B-1111(a)(1)-(3), (6). Following a hearing, the trial court entered an order adjudicating the existence of the grounds alleged in the termination petition. The court further concluded that it was in the children's best interests to terminate Mother's parental rights and ordered that her rights in all five children be terminated. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the trial court's order was supported by clear, cogent, and convincing evidence and was based on proper legal grounds.
