OPINION

GRAY, Justice.

A father’s parental rights were terminated. In a bench trial the court determined he had failed to support the child in accordance with his abilities and also found that termination was in the best interest of *237the child. We are called upon to decide whether the evidence supported the termination and whether the trial court erred in not entering a judgment for the arrearage that resulted in the termination. Although the trial was very short, we hold that the trial court’s findings are based upon clear and convincing evidence and accordingly we affirm the judgment.
