Code 49-4-604(c)(6) due to aggravated circumstances, holding that the dispositional order was insufficient to permit a meaningful review of the proceedings below.
The circuit court conducted an adjudicatory hearing and found by clear and convincing evidence that Father had abused the two children. The circuit court terminated Petitioner's parental rights at the conclusion of the hearing. The Supreme Court vacated the circuit court's dispositional order and remanded the case with directions, holding that the order did not contain the requisite findings of fact and conclusions of law in accordance with W. Va. Code 49-4-604 and Rule 36(a) of the West Virginia Rules of Procedure for Child Abuse and Neglect Proceedings.
