In re A.N.D., 380 N.C. 702 (2022)

Held: 
Affirmed
  • Facts: Father appeals the termination of his parental rights, challenging the best interests determination only.
  • The court did not abuse its discretion when it properly considered the factors in G.S. 7B-1110(a) and determined the TPR was in the children’s best interests. Although father argued the court should have considered the impact of COVID-19 restrictions on his housing and employment as a relevant factor, father did not have suitable housing before or after the 2019 motion for TPR was filed. For his employment, although he was laid off, father had more income after his lay off and chose not to work.
