APPELLATE COURT OPINIONS

The appellees filed a petition in chancery court seeking to terminate a father’s parental rights. After a bench trial, the trial court granted the petition and entered an order terminating the father’s parental rights based on the grounds of (1) failure to manifest an ability and willingness to assume custody, (2) abandonment by failure to visit, and (3) abandonment by failure to support. The trial court also determined that termination of the father’s parental rights was in the child’s best interests. We affirm the trial court’s ruling as to the first ground, we vacate the trial court’s ruling as to the second and third grounds, and we affirm the trial court’s ruling as to best interests. Consequently, we affirm the trial court’s overall ruling that the father’s parental rights must be terminated.

The trial court dismissed a will contest based upon the plaintiff’s failure to state a claim for which relief could be granted pursuant to Rule 12.02(6) and awarded the defendant attorney’s fees pursuant to Tennessee Code Annotated § 20-12-119(c). Plaintiff appeals. Discerning no error, we affirm.

This appeal arises out of a dispute over commercial real property. The appellees have moved to dismiss the appeal as untimely. Because the appellants did not file their notice of appeal within the time permitted by Tennessee Rule of Appellate Procedure 4, we dismiss the appeal.
