Supreme Court of North Carolina

In re C.H.

July 15, 2022

Summary

The Supreme Court of North Carolina affirmed the trial court’s decision to cease reunification efforts but remanded the case for additional findings required by N.C.G.S. § 7B‑906.2(d)(3) before the permanency planning order eliminating reunification can stand. The Court held that the trial court’s omission of that specific finding does not warrant vacating the order, and it declined to consider the termination‑of‑parental‑rights orders.
