7 Citing cases

  1. In re A.C.

    2022 NCCOA 384 (N.C. Ct. App. 2022)

    ¶ 22 In addition, our trial courts have allowed for time periods in which to make home improvements and cleanings to allow for a clean and suitable home. In re Black, 76 N.C.App. 106, 110, 332 S.E.2d 85, 87 (1985) (Trial court allowed three months additional time before termination proceeding to make improvements to the home and provide a clean and suitable home for the children.). DSS testified the home study occurred on 6 July 2021, and the hearing was held on 15 July 2021, less than a week and a half later.

  2. In re D.J.H

    633 S.E.2d 890 (N.C. Ct. App. 2006)

    "A ruling based on a trial court's discretion will not be reversed without a showing of manifest abuse of that discretion." In re Black, 76 N.C. App. 106, 110, 332 S.E.2d 85, 87 (1985) (citation omitted). Here, the trial court concluded in its discretion that it was in the best interests of the children that respondent's parental rights be terminated.

  3. In re H.S.M

    631 S.E.2d 235 (N.C. Ct. App. 2006)

    "A ruling based on a trial court's discretion will not be reversed without a showing of manifest abuse of that discretion." In re Black, 76 N.C. App. 106, 110, 332 S.E.2d 85, 87 (1985). Here, the trial court concluded in its discretion that it was in the best interests of the child that respondent's parental rights be terminated. Respondent contends that the court abused its discretion in making this conclusion, citing Bost. However, we find Bost to be distinguishable from the instant case.

  4. In re C.S

    175 N.C. App. 591 (N.C. Ct. App. 2006)

    The trial court's finding adequately supports the conclusion of law that terminating respondent's parental rights is in C.S.'s best interests, and we find no abuse of discretion by the trial court in determining that terminating respondent's parental rights is in C.S.'s best interests. See In re Black, 76 N.C. App. 106, 110, 332 S.E.2d 85, 87 (1985) (saying, "A ruling based on a trial court's discretion will not be reversed without a showing of manifest abuse of that discretion.") Because respondent has failed to argue her remaining assignments of error on appeal, they are abandoned pursuant to N.C.R. App. P. 28(b)(6) (2005).

  5. In re B.A.A. P.J.A

    612 S.E.2d 446 (N.C. Ct. App. 2005)

    Rulings based on a trial court's discretion will only be reversed upon "a showing of manifest abuse of that discretion." In re Black, 76 N.C. App. 106, 110, 332 S.E.2d 85, 87 (1985). Here, we have already concluded that the trial court's findings of fact supported its conclusion that statutory grounds for termination existed.

  6. In re C.M.M. L.R.W

    608 S.E.2d 416 (N.C. Ct. App. 2005)

    A ruling based on a trial court's discretion will not be reversed without a showing of manifest abuse of that discretion." In re Black, 76 N.C. App. 106, 110, 332 S.E.2d 85, 87 (1985). Based on the evidence before the court, we see no abuse of discretion in terminating respondent's parental rights.

  7. In re Carter

    161 N.C. App. 347 (N.C. Ct. App. 2003)

    "A ruling based on a trial court's discretion will [therefore] not be reversed without a showing of manifest abuse of that discretion." In re Black, 76 N.C. App. 106, 110, 332 S.E.2d 85, 87 (1985). In this case, the trial court concluded that it was in the best interests of the child that respondent's parental rights be terminated.
