IN RE KURT R., ET AL.

Posted by: Azya Thornton on Sep 4, 2024

Court: TN Court of Appeals

Attorneys 1: Agnes Trujillo, Strawberry Plains, Tennessee, for the appellant, Kurt R., Sr.

Attorneys 2: Jonathan Skrmetti, Attorney General & Reporter, and Mara L. Cunningham, Assistant Attorney General, for the appellee, Tennessee Department of Children’s Services.

Judge(s): MCCLARTY

This action involves the termination of a father’s parental rights to his minor children. Following a bench trial, the court found that clear and convincing evidence existed to establish the statutory grounds of severe child abuse and failure to manifest an ability and willingness to assume custody of the children. The court also found that termination was in the best interest of the children. We affirm the trial court’s termination decision.
