1Opinion of the Court

Beasley, Judge.

The mother of four children, now ages 10, 8, 6, and 5, appeals the order which terminated her parental rights as well as those of the fa ther. She contends the evidence was insufficient to support the judgment.

In considering termination of parental rights, OCGA § 15-11-81 assigns priority to a determination whether there is “clear and convincing evidence of parental misconduct or inability.” See In re A. N. Y., 181 Ga. App. 499 (353 SE2d 8) (1987). As to the mother in this case, the court expressly applied OCGA § 15-11-81 (4) (A) (i) (ii), (iii) and (iv) and OCGA § 15-11-2 (8)…
