Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court affirmed the order of the trial court dismissing Mother's petition seeking to have the parental rights of Father to the parties' three children terminated, holding that the trial court did not err in dismissing Mother's petition.
Mother filed a termination petition alleging that Father's parental rights in the children were subject to termination on the grounds of willful abandonment set forth in N.C. Gen. Stat. 7B-1111(a)(7). The trial court dismissed the petition, concluding that Mother had failed to establish that Father had willfully abandoned the children. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the evidence supported the trial court's conclusion that Father had not willfully abandoned the juveniles.
