In Re Allainah B.

Case Number
M2020-01381-COA-R3-PT

Cara S. and Bradley S. (together, “Petitioners”) sought termination of the parental rights of Austin B. (“Father”) as to Father’s daughter, Allainah B. (the “Child”).  Following a bench trial, the Juvenile Court for Franklin County (the “trial court”) found four statutory bases for termination of Father’s parental rights and further concluded that termination was in the Child’s best interest.  Father appealed to this Court.  We conclude that the trial court’s decision should be affirmed as to three statutory grounds for termination and vacated as to the fourth ground.  We also conclude that termination of Father’s parental rights is in the Child’s best interest.  The ultimate holding of the trial court is therefore affirmed.
