22A-JT-579
Juvenile termination of parental rights. Affirms the termination mother J.C. and father R.D.’s parental rights to their children, E.D. and A.C. Finds J.C. and R.D. have not demonstrated that the termination order was clearly erroneous. Also finds R.D. has not shown that he was denied due process when his counsel did not move for a continuance when R.D. failed to appear on the second day of the termination hearing.
In the Matter of the Termination of the Parent-Child Relationship of A.B.-A. (Minor Child); S.B. (Mother) and M.A. (Father) v. Indiana Department of Child Services (mem. dec.)
22A-JT-524
Juvenile termination of parental rights. Affirms the termination of mother S.B. and father M.A.’s parental rights to their son, A.B.-A. Finds the Monroe Circuit Court did not clearly err in determining there was a reasonable probability that the conditions that led to A.B.-A.’s removal from M.A.’s care or his continued placement outside of the father’s home would not be remedied, or in concluding there was a reasonable probability that the continuation of the parent-child relationship posed a threat to A.B.-A.’s well-being. Also finds the trial court’s findings of fact were supported by sufficient evidence. Finally, finds there was sufficient evidence to support the trial court’s determination that termination was in A.B.-A.’s best interests.
