Supreme Court of North Carolina

In re S.D.C.

May 6, 2022

Summary

The court affirmed the termination of respondent’s parental rights, holding that the challenged written dispositional findings were either supported by the evidence or properly disregarded when unsupported. It also held that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in determining that termination served the child’s best interests, notwithstanding the court’s earlier oral comments and respondent’s reunification efforts.
