T.W. v. M.C

Summary

The court reversed the court of appeals and upheld the termination of M.C.'s parental rights to his twin sons. It held that the trial court adequately protected M.C.'s fundamental parental liberty interest by applying a presumption favoring biological parents and requiring clear and convincing evidence of statutory grounds and the children's best interests. The court also held that the trial court did not abuse its discretion by treating M.C.'s single $250 payment as insufficient regular and reasonable support and that the evidence supported leaving the children with their adoptive parents.
