IN RE AUBRIANNA O.

Posted by: Karen Belcher on May 28, 2024

Court: TN Court of Appeals

Attorneys 1: Gregory E. Bennett, Seymour, Tennessee, for the appellant, Danielle G.

Attorneys 2: Felisha B. White, Seymour, Tennessee, for the appellees, Arika R. and Duane R.

Judge(s): FRIERSON

In this case involving termination of the mother’s parental rights to her child, the trial court found that three statutory grounds for termination had been proven by clear and convincing evidence. The trial court further found that clear and convincing evidence demonstrated that termination of the mother’s parental rights was in the child’s best interest. The mother has appealed. Having determined that the trial court erred by failing to make sufficient findings of fact and conclusions of law concerning the ground of abandonment by failure to visit and the best interest analysis, we vacate those portions of the trial court’s judgment and remand for further findings of fact and conclusions of law. In all other respects, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.
