State of Tennessee, Department of Children's Services v. Leigh Ann McAlister, et al.

This is a termination of parental rights case. Mother/Appellant appeals the Order of the Shelby County Juvenile Court terminating her parental rights to her two minor children. Specifically, Appellant asserts that the grounds of persistence of conditions and failure to substantially comply with the permanency plans are not supported by clear and convincing evidence in the record, and that termination of her parental rights is not in the best interests of the children. Because we find clear and convincing evidence in the record to support termination on the grounds of failure to substantially comply with the permanency plans, and clear and convincing evidence that termination is in the best interests of the children, we affirm.
