Chism v. Bright

CARLTON, J.,

for the Court:

¶ 1. Jimmy Ray Chism Jr. (Jim) appeals the Union County Chancery Court’s judgment terminating his parental rights pursuant to Mississippi Code Annotated section 93-15-103 (Rev.2004). The chancellor terminated Jim’s parental rights upon finding Jim unfit for any form of custody or visitation with his son, Johnny,1 and upon finding such termination served Johnny’s best interest due to Jim’s diagnosed condition that was unlikely to change -within a reasonable period of time, rendering him unable to assume minimally acceptable care of Johnny.2 Finding no error, we affirm.
