IN RE ASHANTI P. ET AL.

Posted by: Tanja Trezise on Nov 29, 2021

Court: TN Court of Appeals

Attorneys 1: Gregory D. Smith, Clarksville, Tennessee, for the appellant, Deidra P.

Attorneys 2: Herbert H. Slatery, III, Attorney General and Reporter, and Mary Kristen Kyle-Castelli, Assistant Attorney General, for the appellee, Tennessee Department of Children’s Services.

Judge(s): BENNETT

A mother appeals the termination of her parental rights, arguing only that the court abused its discretion in denying her motion to continue the trial. Upon our review of the record, we affirm the juvenile court’s denial of the motion to continue. The record contains clear and convincing evidence to support the grounds on which the mother’s rights were terminated and to support a conclusion that termination was in the children’s best interest; accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the juvenile court terminating the mother’s parental rights.
