AUTUMN L. ET AL. v. JAMES C.

Posted by: Azya Thornton on Dec 16, 2025

Court: TN Court of Appeals

Attorneys 1: Shawn D. Snyer, Columbia, Tennessee, for the appellants, Autumn L., and Timothy B. L.

Attorneys 2: Adam Zanetis, Franklin, Tennessee, for the appellee, James C.

Judge(s): STAFFORD

Mother and Stepfather sought to terminate Father’s parental rights to two minor children, alleging abandonment by failure to conduct more than token visitation. The trial court determined that the regular video-call visitation exercised by Father was not token, but that to the extent that the visitation could be considered token, Mother’s interference prevented a finding that such abandonment was willful. Father’s rights were not terminated. Discerning no reversible error, we affirm.
