OPINION
LEE ANN DAUPHINOT, Justice.
Appellant H.L. appeals the termination of his parental rights to his four children, K.L., I.L., M.L., and D.L. In three issues, Appellant contends he had a right to effective assistance of counsel at the hearing resulting in the termination of his parental rights; his counsel was ineffective in not objecting to inadmissible hearsay evidence; and without the inadmissible hearsay, there is no evidence to support the trial court’s findings of fact and conclusions of law. Because we find no reversible error, we will affirm the trial court’s judgment.
