Juveniles – TPR — best interests

Marquese H. appeals the orders terminating his parental rights to Ameliyah H., Amariyon H., and Amyerrah H. They are the non-marital children of Marquese H. and Holly B. Ameliyah was born in June of 2007, Amariyon was born in June of 2008, and Amyerrah was born in June of 2009. This appeal concerns only the rights of the children vis a vis Marquese H.; Holly B. consented to the termination of her parental rights to them. Marquese H. stipulated that there was sufficient evidence to terminate his parental rights to the children under Wis. Stat. § 48.415(1)(a)2 (abandonment), and decided to contest only the best-interests phase of the two-part termination-of-parental-rights proceeding, see Wis. Stat. § 48.426(2). This opinion will not be published.
